Answer 1

You can use date.format library:

var dateFormat = require('dateformat');
var now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, "dddd dS mmmm yyyy h:MM TT");

It will return

Answer 2

Use the dateFormat library by Steven Levithan. It's just 1.2kb when minified and gzipped.

Here's how to use it:

var _date = dateFormat(new Date(), "dddd dd mmm yyyy hh:MM TT"); //use _date variable to display

Answer 3

You can also use this JQuery library : Date Format

var now = new Date();
document.write($.format.date(now, "ddd dd MMM yyyy hh:mm a"));
