How to get date object from date string format

Question

I'm trying to convert a date string to date format, something like this:

var date = "07/11/2015"; //format is mm/dd/yyyy

Now I want it to be in this format:

date = Tue Sep 01 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

Can anyone suggest a way to achieve it. Thanks in advance!

var date = "07/11/2015";
    
alert(new Date(date)); //Sat Jul 11 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
