            //start of with getting the dates from your array 
                var between =[]
                for (var i = 0; i < arrayOfHolsInfoTbl.length; i++){
                    alert( holsInfoTblData[i].StartDate)
                    alert(holsInfoTblData[i].EndStart)
                    var datePickedStr1 = holsInfoTblData[i].StartDate;
                    var datePickedDate1 = new Date(datePickedStr1)//converts string to date object

                    var datePickedStr2 = holsInfoTblData[i].EndStart;
                    var datePickedDate2 = new Date(datePickedStr1)

                    while (datePickedDate1 <= datePickedDate2) {
                        between.push(new Date(datePickedDate1));
                        datePickedDate1.setDate(datePickedDate1.getDate() + 1);
                    }
                }
            //loop through array and print  all dates that have been added to array 
                for (var j = 0; j < between.length; j++) {
                    alert("This is all the dates " + between[j])
                }

You can grab the values from your date pickers using the getDate method, since this will return you a Date object. Then, starting at the start date increment "current" date by 1 day and add it to an array until the current date is the same as the end date.

Note that you'll need to create a new Date() when adding it to the between array, or else you will just be referencing the currentDate object and all your values will be the same.

Working Demo

var start = $("#from").datepicker("getDate"),
    end = $("#to").datepicker("getDate"),
    currentDate = new Date(start.getTime()),
    between = []
;

while (currentDate <= end) {
    between.push(new Date(currentDate));
    currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + 1);
}
