const initialDate="11/26/2018"
let splited = initialDate.split("/");
let date=new Date(splited[2], splited[1] - 1, splited[0])

note that the months are indexed from 0.

you can do something like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/493018/5472362 – Fawzi Nov 26 '18 at 06:47
and if you want to make things easier there is always moment http://momentjs.com/ – Fawzi Nov 26 '18 at 06:48

var mydate = new Date('11/26/18');

var mydate2 = new Date('11/24/18');

console.log('String Format =',mydate.toDateString());
console.log('ISO Format =', mydate.toISOString());

if (mydate > mydate2) {
    console.log('mydate is greater than mydate2');
}else{
    console.log('mydate is less than mydate2');
}

you can also use moment.js
