Answer 1

Try this.

var datetime = new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10) 
    + " " + new Date(new Date()).toString().split(' ')[4];

console.log(datetime);

Answer 2

Converting Milliseconds to date formate using javascript

- for reference see below jsfiddle

http://jsfiddle.net/kavithaReddy/cspn3pj0/1/

function () {
   var values = "/Date(1409819809000)/";
   var dt = new Date(parseInt(values.substring(6, values.length - 2)));
   var dtString1 = (dt.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + dt.getDate() + "/" + dt.getFullYear();
   alert(dtString1);
})();

Answer 3

jonathan's answers lacks the leading zero. There is a simple solution to this:

function getFormattedDate(){
    var d = new Date();

    d = d.getFullYear() + "-" + ('0' + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ('0' + d.getDate()).slice(-2) + " " + ('0' + d.getHours()).slice(-2) + ":" + ('0' + d.getMinutes()).slice(-2) + ":" + ('0' + d.getSeconds()).slice(-2);

    return d;
}

basically add 0 and then just take the 2 last characters. So 031 will take 31. 01 will take 01...

Answer 4

it may be overkill for what you want, but have you looked into datejs ?

Answer 5

Date.prototype.toUTCArray= function(){
    var D= this;
    return [D.getUTCFullYear(), D.getUTCMonth(), D.getUTCDate(), D.getUTCHours(),
    D.getUTCMinutes(), D.getUTCSeconds()];
}

Date.prototype.toISO= function(t){
    var tem, A= this.toUTCArray(), i= 0;
    A[1]+= 1;
    while(i++<7){
        tem= A[i];
        if(tem<10) A[i]= '0'+tem;
    }
    return A.splice(0, 3).join('-')+'T'+A.join(':');
    // you can use a space instead of 'T' here
}

Date.fromISO= function(s){
    var i= 0, A= s.split(/\D+/);
    while(i++<7){
        if(!A[i]) A[i]= 0;
        else A[i]= parseInt(A[i], 10);
    }
    --s[1];
    return new Date(Date.UTC(A[0], A[1], A[2], A[3], A[4], A[5]));  
}

   var D= new Date();
   var s1= D.toISO();
   var s2= Date.fromISO(s1);
   alert('ISO= '+s1+'\nlocal Date returned:\n'+s2);

Answer 6

Although it doesn't pad to two characters in some of the cases, it does what I expect you want

function getFormattedDate() {
    var date = new Date();
    var str = date.getFullYear() + "-" + (date.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + date.getDate() + " " +  date.getHours() + ":" + date.getMinutes() + ":" + date.getSeconds();

    return str;
}
