Using moment js to convert date to string MM dd yyyy

Question

I need to take the date value from jquery datepicker turn it into string format  MM dd yyyy  so it can do the right ajax post  When the page loads or upon changing the datepicker  a jquery ajax call is made   I have this code   var sTimestamp   moment     start ts   datepicker  getDate    format  MM dd yyyy      But it doesn t turn it into  MM dd yyyy   When I use fiddler to check what is sent down the wire  this is the body   startTimestamp 03 2FTh 2Fyyyy amp endTimestamp 03 2FTh 2Fyyyy amp pageSize 50 amp pageNum 0   If I use the compose in fiddler and change the body to   startTimestamp 03 13 2013 amp endTimestamp 03 14 2013 amp pageSize 50 amp pageNum 0   I get the right response  So  my question is  is there a way to take a date object and format it to a string  MM dd yyyy  using moment js  Or is there something wrong with the way I get the date from datepicker   Btw  I am assuming that datepicker getDate returns a date object since that s what the jQuery docs tell me   Thank you
