If you can limit yourself to the latest browsers that support the ECMAScript Internationalization API, then you can do the following:

var dt = new Date("2014-02-28T20:00:00+01:00");

var options = { year:'numeric',
                month:'long',
                day:'numeric',
                hour:'numeric',
                minute:'numeric'};

var s = dt.toLocaleString('nl', options);

The result is "28 februari 2014 11:00". If you really need the hyphen in there:

var dt = new Date("2014-02-28T20:00:00+01:00");

var dateOptions = { year:'numeric', month:'long', day:'numeric' };
var timeOptions = { hour:'numeric', minute:'numeric'};

var s = dt.toLocaleDateString('nl', dateOptions) + ' - ' + 
        dt.toLocaleTimeString('nl', timeOptions);

Also, watch the offset of the input string. Some browsers (like Internet Explorer) won't take accept the ISO8601 format with +0100 as the offset, but require +01:00 fully extended.

And as anurag_29 pointed out, if you need to do this cross-browser, and in older browsers, your best bet is moment.js.

RegExp can solve this.

You'll only need an array to do the comparison with the months and change it to the according month in Dutch.

JsFiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/JdLBs/

Code here:

var date = "2014-02-28T20:00:00+0100";
var search = /(.*)T(.*)\+/i;
var result = date.match(search);

var tempYear = result[1].split('-');
var tempTime = result[2].split(':');

var dutchDate = tempYear[2] + ' ' + tempYear[1] + ' ' + tempYear[0] + ' - ' + tempTime[0] + ':' + tempTime[1];

console.log(dutchDate);
