It's not clear to me what you are asking for. Do you want to format a given date value in the above format? Or do you want to convert such a string to a date value? It's not a shame if your question contains more than just one sentence. — Felix Kling, Dec 23 '15 at 15:50
This has already been solved many times over... look into http://momentjs.com/docs/ — An0nC0d3r, Dec 23 '15 at 15:50

Just use the new date function.

new Date();

Also, consider taking a look at momentJS for all your javascript date needs.

This is an ISO-formatted date, so use toISOString.

new Date().toISOString()
  "2015-12-23T15:50:18.134Z"
