If the format is  fixed  meaning you don t have to use other format you can have pure JavaScript instead of using whole library to format the date    x000D   x000D    Pad given value to the left with  0  x000D  function AddZero num    x000D      return  num  gt   0  amp  amp  num  lt  10     0    num   num       x000D    x000D   x000D  window onload   function     x000D      var now   new Date    x000D      var strDateTime     AddZero now getDate      x000D          AddZero now getMonth     1    x000D          now getFullYear    join        x000D           AddZero now getHours      x000D          AddZero now getMinutes     join        x000D          now getHours    gt   12    PM     AM   join       x000D      document getElementById  Console   innerHTML    Now      strDateTime  x000D     x000D   lt div id  Console  gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The variable strDateTime will hold the date time in the format you desire and you should be able to tweak it pretty easily if you need   I m using join as good practice  nothing more  it s better than adding strings together

Shadow Wizard s code should return 02 45 PM instead of 14 45 PM  So I modified his code a bit   function getNowDateTimeStr     var now   new Date     var hour   now getHours   -  now getHours    gt   12   12   0   return   AddZero now getDate     AddZero now getMonth     1   now getFullYear    join        AddZero hour   AddZero now getMinutes     join       now getHours    gt   12    PM     AM   join            Pad given value to the left with  0  function AddZero num        return  num  gt   0  amp  amp  num  lt  10     0    num   num

Date   toLocaleString   returns this  7 31 2018  12 58 03 PM  Pretty close - just drop the comma and the seconds   new Date   toLocaleString   replace         replace               Results  7 31 2018 12 58 PM

You can convert Date to almost any format using the Snippet I have added below   Code   dateFormat new Date    dd mm yy h MM TT      20 06 14 6 49 PM    Other examples     Can also be used as a standalone function dateFormat new Date     dddd  mmmm dS  yyyy  h MM ss TT       Saturday  June 9th  2007  5 46 21 PM  dateFormat new Date    dddd d mmmm yyyy     Monday 2 June 2014    Snippet   Add following code taken from this link into your code   var dateFormat   function          var token    d 1 4  m 1 4  yy   yy     HhMsTt   1   LloSZ                  g          timezone     b    PMCEA  SDP T    Pacific Mountain Central Eastern Atlantic     Standard Daylight Prevailing  Time    GMT UTC     -   d 4     b g          timezoneClip      -  dA-Z  g          pad   function  val  len                val   String val               len   len    2              while  val length  lt  len  val    0    val              return val                     Regexes and supporting functions are cached through closure     return function  date  mask  utc            var dF   dateFormat              You can t provide utc if you skip other args  use the  UTC   mask prefix          if  arguments length    1  amp  amp  Object prototype toString call date       object String    amp  amp     d  test date                 mask   date              date   undefined                        Passing date through Date applies Date parse  if necessary         date   date   new Date date    new Date          if  isNaN date   throw SyntaxError  invalid date             mask   String dF masks mask     mask    dF masks  default                 Allow setting the utc argument via the mask         if  mask slice 0  4      UTC                  mask   mask slice 4               utc   true                     var     utc    getUTC     get               d   date      Date                  D   date      Day                  m   date      Month                  y   date      FullYear                  H   date      Hours                  M   date      Minutes                  s   date      Seconds                  L   date      Milliseconds                  o   utc   0   date getTimezoneOffset                flags                     d     d                  dd    pad d                   ddd   dF i18n dayNames D                   dddd  dF i18n dayNames D   7                   m     m   1                  mm    pad m   1                   mmm   dF i18n monthNames m                   mmmm  dF i18n monthNames m   12                   yy    String y  slice 2                   yyyy  y                  h     H   12    12                  hh    pad H   12    12                   H     H                  HH    pad H                   M     M                  MM    pad M                   s     s                  ss    pad s                   l     pad L  3                   L     pad L  gt  99   Math round L   10    L                   t     H  lt  12    a      p                   tt    H  lt  12    am     pm                   T     H  lt  12    A      P                   TT    H  lt  12    AM     PM                   Z     utc    UTC     String date  match timezone           pop   replace timezoneClip                       o      o  gt  0    -           pad Math floor Math abs o    60    100   Math abs o    60  4                   S       th    st    nd    rd   d   10  gt  3   0    d   100 - d   10    10    d   10                          return mask replace token  function   0                return  0 in flags   flags  0     0 slice 1   0 length - 1                               Some common format strings dateFormat masks          default         ddd mmm dd yyyy HH MM ss       shortDate        m d yy       mediumDate       mmm d  yyyy       longDate         mmmm d  yyyy       fullDate         dddd  mmmm d  yyyy       shortTime        h MM TT       mediumTime       h MM ss TT       longTime         h MM ss TT Z       isoDate          yyyy-mm-dd       isoTime          HH MM ss       isoDateTime      yyyy-mm-dd T HH MM ss       isoUtcDateTime   UTC yyyy-mm-dd T HH MM ss Z          Internationalization strings dateFormat i18n         dayNames             Sun    Mon    Tue    Wed    Thu    Fri    Sat            Sunday    Monday    Tuesday    Wednesday    Thursday    Friday    Saturday             monthNames             Jan    Feb    Mar    Apr    May    Jun    Jul    Aug    Sep    Oct    Nov    Dec            January    February    March    April    May    June    July    August    September    October    November    December               For convenience    Date prototype format   function  mask  utc        return dateFormat this  mask  utc

Semantically  you re probably looking for the one-liner  new Date   toLocaleString     which formats the date in the locale of the user   If you re really looking for a specific way to format dates  I recommend the moment js library
