You can use the momentjs library to do this rather easily.

var epoch = moment(str).unix();

I solved my problem.

first Get current DateTime by new Date() second use .toDateString() third attach my time interval e.g. "01:30:00".

new Date().toDateString() + ' ' + "01:30:00" // Mon May 09 2016 01:30:00

Now use moment.js

var t = moment(new Date().toDateString() + ' ' + "01:30:00");

ّFinaly add for example 1 hour by moment().add()

var finalTime = t.add(60, 'minutes').format("hh:mm");

demo

var stringTimeInterval = "01:30:00";

   var t = moment(new Date().toDateString() + ' ' + stringTimeInterval);

   document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = t.add(60, 'minutes').format("hh:mm:00");

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.13.0/moment.min.js"></script>
<div id="demo"></div>
