How to format a Date in MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss format in JavaScript? [duplicate]

Try something like this

var d = new Date,
    dformat = [d.getMonth()+1,
               d.getDate(),
               d.getFullYear()].join("https://stackoverflow.com/")+' '+
              [d.getHours(),
               d.getMinutes(),
               d.getSeconds()].join(':');

If you want leading zero’s for values < 10, use this number extension

Number.prototype.padLeft = function(base,chr){
    var  len = (String(base || 10).length - String(this).length)+1;
    return len > 0? new Array(len).join(chr || '0')+this : this;
}
// usage
//=> 3..padLeft() => '03'
//=> 3..padLeft(100,'-') => '--3' 

Applied to the previous code:

var d = new Date,
    dformat = [(d.getMonth()+1).padLeft(),
               d.getDate().padLeft(),
               d.getFullYear()].join("https://stackoverflow.com/") +' ' +
              [d.getHours().padLeft(),
               d.getMinutes().padLeft(),
               d.getSeconds().padLeft()].join(':');
//=> dformat => '05/17/2012 10:52:21'

See this code in jsfiddle

[edit 2019] Using ES20xx, you can use a template literal and the new padStart string extension.

const dt = new Date();
const padL = (nr, len = 2, chr = `0`) => `${nr}`.padStart(2, chr);

console.log(`${
    padL(dt.getMonth()+1)}/${
    padL(dt.getDate())}/${
    dt.getFullYear()} ${
    padL(dt.getHours())}:${
    padL(dt.getMinutes())}:${
    padL(dt.getSeconds())}`
);
