Answer 1

with date.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.datejs.com/build/date.js"></script>

you can write like this

new Date().toString("hh:mm tt")

cheet sheet is here format specifiers
tt is for AM/PM

Answer 2

You can use like this,

var dt = new Date();
    var h =  dt.getHours(), m = dt.getMinutes();
    var _time = (h > 12) ? (h-12 + ':' + m +' PM') : (h + ':' + m +' AM');

Hopes this will be better with minutes too.

Answer 3

You should just be able to check if hours is greater than 12.

var ampm = (hours >= 12) ? "PM" : "AM";

But have you considered the case where the hour is less than 2 before you subtract 2? You'd end up with a negative number for your hour.

Answer 4

The best way without extensions and complex coding:

date.toLocaleString([], { hour12: true});

How do you display javascript datetime in 12 hour AM/PM format?

Answer 5

Try this:

h = h > 12 ? h-12 +'PM' : h +'AM';

Answer 6

If hours is less than 12, it's the a.m..

var hours = new Date().getHours(), // this is local hours, may want getUTCHours()
    am;
// adjust for timezone
hours = (hours + 24 - 2) % 24;
// get am/pm
am = hours < 12 ? 'a.m.' : 'p.m.';
// convert to 12-hour style
hours = (hours % 12) || 12;

Now, for me as you didn't use getUTCHours, it is currently 2 hours after

hours + ' ' + am; // "6 p.m."
