See official docs on how changing locale globally.

Note that you have to import locale data (e.g. moment-with-locales.min.js)

Here a working example:

moment.locale('de');
console.log(moment(Date.now()).fromNow()); //vor ein paar Sekunden

You can also use only data for a given locale (e.g. de):

moment.locale('de');
console.log(moment(Date.now()).fromNow()); //vor ein paar Sekunden

Moreover you are redefining moment in your code, that is incorrect

var moment = moment();
