Date Time format - JavaScript

Hi -

I have a datetime field which I'm using in a JavaScript function:

function getDate(){
var date = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_startdate").getValue();
alert (date)
}

The alert displays the the format of the field as this: Tues Apr 19 08:00:00 UTC+0100 2016

I need to reformat the result to show as this: 2016-04-19 08:00:00, so I can use it in a further part of the function.

Does anyone know how to do this in the JavaScript function?

Thanks,

Rich

    Hello User,
     
    Follow below code to format Date & Time
     
    var dateObject = new Date("Tues Apr 19 08: 00: 00 UTC + 0100 2016");

            var year = dateObject.getFullYear();
            var month = dateObject.getMonth() + 1;
            var day = dateObject.getDate();
            var hours = dateObject.getHours();
            var minutes = dateObject.getMinutes();
            var seconds = dateObject.getSeconds();

            if (month < 10) {
                month = '0' + month;
            }
            if (day < 10) {
                day = "0" + day;
            }
            if (hours < 10) {
                hours = '0' + hours;
            }
            if (minutes < 10) {
                minutes = '0' + minutes;
            }
            if (seconds < 10) {
                seconds = '0' + seconds;
            }

            var formattedDate = year + "-" + month + "-" + day + " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
