The timezone is always zero UTC offset, as denoted by the suffix "Z"

console.log(new Date(`Sat Dec 17 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0800 `).toISOString())

You can use moment.js library for that

var date=new Date();

let c=moment(date).format();
console.log(c)
let s=c.split("+")
console.log(s[0])

With vanilla JS you could use toISOString. Go ahead and try

(new Date()).toISOString();.

Output would be in this format: "2019-02-01T05:43:11.618Z".

If you don't need the time zone you can format it, or use character handling.

Otherwise, use a library like moment.js or date-fns to handle date formatting.
