The easiest way to convert is

new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {
  year: 'numeric',
  month: 'long',
  day: '2-digit'
}).format(new Date('Your Date'))

Just Replace 'Your Date' with your complicated date format :)

start_date="14 Feb 2020";
var new_startDate= new Date(start_date);
var date= moment(new_startDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

Answer: 2020-02-14

In here you have to use moment.js

A trifling refinement: 
              var date = new Date(value);
              var year = date.getFullYear();
              var rawMonth = parseInt(date.getMonth()) + 1;
              var month = rawMonth < 10 ? '0' + rawMonth : rawmonth;
              var rawDay = parseInt(date.getDate());
              var day = rawDay < 10 ? '0' + rawDay : rawDay; 
              console.log(year + '-' + month + '-' + day);

jsFiddle Demo

Split the string based on the blank spaces. Take the parts and reconstruct it.

function convertDate(d){
 var parts = d.split(" ");
 var months = {Jan: "01",Feb: "02",Mar: "03",Apr: "04",May: "05",Jun: "06",Jul: "07",Aug: "08",Sep: "09",Oct: "10",Nov: "11",Dec: "12"};
 return parts[3]+"-"+months[parts[1]]+"-"+parts[2];
}

var d = "Fri Jan 31 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)";
alert(convertDate(d));

For things like this it's often good to do a little testing in the browser console. 

var date = new Date("Fri Jan 31 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)");
console.log(date.getFullYear() + '-' + date.getMonth()+1 + '-' + date.getDate())

Ensure you add + 1 to the result of getMonth() because it is zero based.

A similar question was asked here:

Where can I find documentation on formatting a date in JavaScript?

You can do it like this

var date = new Date("Fri Jan 31 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)");
var year=date.getFullYear();
var month=date.getMonth()+1 //getMonth is zero based;
var day=date.getDate();
var formatted=year+"-"+month+"-"+day;

I see you're trying to format a date. You should totally drop that and use jQuery UI

You can format it like this then

var str = $.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', new Date("Fri Jan 31 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)");

I found Web Developer's Notes helpful in formatting dates

var str = $.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', d);
alert(str);

This requires jQuery UI.

You can also use the Moment.js library, make sure to give it a search.

Few examples: moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');

moment().format('dddd');
