You can do a little string addition by doing the following:

var result = "";
var date = new Date();
var hours = date.getHours();
var minutes = date.getMinutes();

var amORpm = hours > 12 ? "P.M" : "A.M";
if(hours > 12) hours -= 12;
result = hours + ":" + minutes + " " + amORpm;
console.log(result); // Will get you your desired format
