You could use moment.js

Moment.js 2.7.0

Moment was designed to work both in the browser and in Node.JS. Parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates in javascript.

and it is also available on cdnjs.com.

You can use a function like this:

function formatDate(date) {
  months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
            'May', 'June', 'July', 'August',
            'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];
  dateSplit = date.split('-');
  year = dateSplit[0];
  month = months[parseInt(dateSplit[1]) - 1];
  day = parseInt(dateSplit[2]);
  switch(day) {
    case 1:
    case 21:
    case 31:
      day += 'st';
      break;
    case 2:
    case 22:
      day += 'nd';
      break;
    case 3:
    case 23:
      day += 'rd';
      break;
    default:
      day += 'th';
  }
  return month + ' ' + day + ', ' + year;
}

var str_date = "1983-24-12",
    arr_date = str_date.split('-'),
    months   = ['', 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];

var new_date=months[arr_date[2]] + ' ' + arr_date[1] + ', ' + arr_date[0]);

Edit

You can add an ordinal using the following:

function addOrdinal(n) {
    var ord = [,'st','nd','rd'];
    var a = n%100;
    return n + (ord[a>20? a%10 :a] || 'th');
}

e.g.

addOrdinal(1); // 1st
