You could use Moment.js to achieve your desired format:

console.log( moment().format('DDMMYYYYhhmmssA') )

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.21.0/moment.min.js"></script>

here what is moment(), how to define? – Mahendra Mar 21 '18 at 10:58
It's time manipulations library. I have posted a link above. You can either download `moment.js` script file and include it in your project or add it via `npm` if possible. – Vladyslav Mar 21 '18 at 11:03
@JeremyThille Thanks, I'm new to this snippeting stuff. Perfaps I should examine it a bit soon :) – Vladyslav Mar 21 '18 at 11:12
@Jeremy, Here if i use this moment.min.js '' and if i run its getting error 'Refused to load the script 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.21.0/moment.min.js' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' blob: filesystem: chrome-extension-resource:".' – Mahendra Mar 21 '18 at 11:33
@Mahendra then just download the library and include the local version. – Vladyslav Mar 21 '18 at 11:35
@Vladyslav, https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.21.0/locale/az.js. Is this fine? – Mahendra Mar 21 '18 at 11:53
@Mahendra In case you need locale-specific version, just download it, put along with your sources and include it using ` – Vladyslav Mar 21 '18 at 11:57
No, az.js is the Azerbaidjan locale (plug-in). Just include moment.min.js – Jeremy Thille Mar 21 '18 at 12:00
@Vladyslav, can i get the link of moment.min.js library – Mahendra Mar 21 '18 at 12:10

You can handle this quite easily by using momentjs library. The documentation is quite detailed here: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/

It will allow you to handle date formatting any way you desire.

You can download it from here: https://momentjs.com/

Without using momentJS library:

To convert the current date and time to a UNIX timestamp do the following:

var ts = Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000);

getTime() returns milliseconds from the UNIX epoch, so divide it by 1000 to get the seconds representation. It is rounded using Math.round() to make it a whole number. The "ts" variable now has the UNIX timestamp for the current date and time relevent to the user's web browser.

You can also take a look here: How do you get a timestamp in JavaScript?

Your solution without `Moment.js` is wrong. You will receive simple timestamp (total number of seconds elapsed since 01/01/1970). It's not what the author is asking for. — Vladyslav, Mar 21 '18 at 11:05

var date = new Date();
var dateFormat =  (date.getDate().toString().length == 1? "0":'' ) + date.getDate() + (date.getMonth().toString().length == 1? "0":'' ) + date.getMonth() + "" + date.getFullYear()
var hours = ((date.getHours()%12).toString().length == 1?'0':'') + "" + (date.getHours()%12);
var minuts = ((date.getMinutes()).toString().length == 1?'0':'') + "" + (date.getMinutes());
var seconds = ((date.getSeconds()).toString().length == 1?'0':'') + "" + (date.getSeconds());
var format = (date.getHours() >= 12 && date.getHours()%12 != 0) ? 'PM':'AM'
var yourDate = dateFormat + hours + minuts + seconds + format

'21032018041217PM' using this how to add 30min exactly? – Mahendra Mar 22 '18 at 12:01 — Mahendra, Mar 22 '18 at 12:01

I would suggest moment.js otherwise you can do string concatenations and calculations be careful month is 0-11 which means 3 might actually be 04 not 03.

You just need to pad the numbers. `function pad(num,length) {return (new Array(length).join("0") + num).slice(-length);}` and then you can do `pad(date.getDate(),2) + pad(date.getMonth()+1,2) + pad(date.getFullYear(),4) + pad(date.getHours(),2) + pad(date.getMinutes(),2) + pad(date.getSeconds(),2);` – Niet the Dark Absol Mar 21 '18 at 11:13
Don't forget about ante/post meridiem (AM/PM) – Vladyslav Mar 21 '18 at 11:15
