    If you are going to have to use a lot of date manipulation I'd recommend using http://momentjs.com/

    You can then turn it into a two line solution, I haven't used it in CRM but can't see why it wouldn't work. (once you have deployed the js to the form).

    This will automatically set AM and PM. No need to create a string with date time format.Please refer this:

    Hi Sandy,

    As you append your fileds so you need to add toString() function.

    var currentDate = new Date();
var date = currentDate.getDate().toString();
var month= (currentDate.getMonth() +1).toString();
var year = currentDate.getFullYear().toString();
var h = currentDate.getHours().toString();
var m = currentDate.getMinutes().toString();
var s = currentDate.getSeconds().toString();

    and as you just want to set current date and time in you datetime filed you can use a this one line code
    var currentDate = new Date();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_birthday").setValue(currentDate);

    Thanks
