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!

@Manwal, that's for converting to 'mm/dd/yyyy' format? Can you please suggest how to do it's reverse. — Abhishek, Sep 01 '15 at 10:39
@Manwal: Not as many as your could implement natively on your own ;-) — dakab, Sep 01 '15 at 10:42
