Here is how you can do it:

selectedDateTime = "2009-08-12 14:30:00 AM"   //This is what you currently have
var splitarray = new Array();
splitarray= selectedDateTime.split(" ");

var date = splitarray[0];
var time = splitarray[1] + splitarray[2];

alert("Date: "+ date + "  Time: " + time)

var Hours = date.getHours();
var Mins = date.getMinutes();
var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
hours = hours % 12;
hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm;

Your code is perfectly fine.

The only thing is; AM vs PM: Each period consists of 12 hours numbered: 12 (acting as zero for AM),

AM-> 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 PM-> 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

You should write date as "8/28/2014 12:00:00 PM", not "8/28/2014 12:00:00 AM". Because 12 is PM, not AM, if you mean noon.

If you write 12:00:00 AM, javascript will understand it as 24:00 or 00:00. 12 is midnight for AM.

separate Date and time with AM or PM?
