I wrote a simple library for manipulating the JavaScript date object. You can try this:

var dateString = timeSolver.getString(new Date(), "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.SSS")

Library here: https://github.com/sean1093/timeSolver

Alternative to answer of  JosephMarikle If you do not want to figth against timezone UTC etc  var dateString             quot 0 quot    date getUTCDate    slice -2     quot   quot              quot 0 quot     date getUTCMonth   1   slice -2     quot   quot            date getUTCFullYear      quot   quot              return HH MM SS with localtime without surprises         date toLocaleTimeString       console log fechaHoraActualCadena

Not tested  but something like this   var now   new Date    var str   now getUTCFullYear   toString                      now getUTCMonth     1  toString                     now getUTCDate           now getUTCHours                     now getUTCMinutes           now getUTCSeconds      Of course  you ll need to pad the hours  minutes  and seconds to two digits or you ll sometimes get weird looking times like  2011 12 2 19 2 8

No library  one line  properly padded  const str    new Date    toISOString   slice 0  19  replace  - g       replace  T           It uses the built-in function Date toISOString    chops off the ms  replaces the hyphens with slashes  and replaces the T with a space to go from say  2019-01-05T09 01 07 123  to  2019 01 05 09 01 07    Local time instead of UTC  const now   new Date    const offsetMs   now getTimezoneOffset     60   1000  const dateLocal   new Date now getTime   - offsetMs   const str   dateLocal toISOString   slice 0  19  replace  - g       replace  T

Posting another script solution DateX  author  for anyone interested  DateX does NOT wrap the original Date object  but instead offers an identical interface with additional methods to format  localise  parse  diff and validate dates easily  So one can just do new DateX     instead of new Date     or use the lib as date utilities or even as wrapper or replacement around Date class   The date format used is identical to php date format   c-like format is also supported  although not fully   for the example posted  YYYY mm dd hh m sec  the format to use would be Y m d H i s eg  var formatted date   new DateX   format  Y m d H i s      or  var formatted now date gmt   new DateX DateX UTC    format  Y m d H i s      https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects Date UTC

You can build it manually   var m   new Date    var dateString   m getUTCFullYear          m getUTCMonth   1        m getUTCDate           m getUTCHours           m getUTCMinutes           m getUTCSeconds      and to force two digits on the values that require it  you can use something like this     0000    5  slice -2    Which would look like this    x000D   x000D  var m   new Date    x000D  var dateString   x000D      m getUTCFullYear           x000D        0     m getUTCMonth   1   slice -2          x000D        0    m getUTCDate    slice -2          x000D        0    m getUTCHours    slice -2          x000D        0    m getUTCMinutes    slice -2          x000D        0    m getUTCSeconds    slice -2   x000D   x000D  console log dateString   x000D   x000D   x000D
