It would look something like this. Because javascript does not have date formatting functions:
var d = new Date();
var date = [ d.getDate(), d.getMonth() + 1, d.getFullYear() ];
var time = [
(d.getHours() > 12) ? d.getHours() - 12 : (d.getHours() == 0) ? 12 : d.getHours(),
d.getMinutes(),
d.getSeconds()
];
"".concat(date.join("/"), " ", time.join(":"), " ", (d.getHours() > 11) ? "PM" : "AM");
PS: I hope that the AM/PM is good, I'm not really familiar with it.
Edit: I've checked it's okay now.
You can even use this to extend the Date class in the following way:
Date.prototype.getFormatted = function() {
var date = [ this.getDate(), this.getMonth() + 1, this.getFullYear() ];
var time = [
(this.getHours() > 12) ? this.getHours() - 12 : (this.getHours() == 0) ? 12 : this.getHours(),
this.getMinutes(),
this.getSeconds()
];
return "".concat(date.join("/"), " ", time.join(":"), " ", (this.getHours() > 11) ? "PM" : "AM");
};
and then simply:
var d = new Date();
d.getFormatted();

everything was helpful that you have posted accept the last line that is giving me error "".concat(date.join("/"), " ", time.join(":"), " ", (d.getHours() > 11) ? "PM" : "AM"); i tried to assign this into something var test= d.concat(.......) it is not working

it's not
d.concat, it's just "".concat, so var test = "".concat(...ankur
i thought it is array concat but yup it is correct what you said.
With the function getX you can get more information about the date, like month, day, year, fullyear.
var currentTime = new Date();
var day = currentTime.getDate();
