Changing the time of Date() object jQuery

I need to set a cookie to expire at midnight of the day that it is set, but I'm struggling to get my head about jQuery Date();.

I'm using the jQuery Cookie plugin to control the cookies. By default it just accepts an int as the expiry time, but you can pass it a date object according to the docs. So I'm trying to use jQuery Date(); and edit just the hrs mins secs to set it to 23:59:59.

When I use Date it outputs something like this: Mon Oct 28 2013 10:59:30 GMT+0000 (GMT)

Does anyone know how to hook into just the hours, mins and seconds part of this?

Thanks!

Fix:

var date = new Date();

date.setHours(23,59,59,0);                  

// set the new item as a cookie
$.cookie(count, newItem, { expires: date });

Changes Mon Oct 28 2013 11:17:55 GMT+0000 (GMT)

to Mon Oct 28 2013 23:59:59 GMT+0000 (GMT)
