I think you could consider use a library to do that convert instead of convert it yourself.

moment.js is a great lib to do such thing. You just need oneline.

moment('May 13, 2012 12:00:00').format('DD/MM/YYYY')

You only need change the format string if you need use another format without change other code.

It is generally recommended to not parse date strings, even those mentioned in ECMA-262 due to browser inconsistencies. You can use a library, but the format in the OP is not difficult:

    function parseMMMDY(s) {
      var b = s.toLowerCase().match(/\w+/g);
      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 b && b[1] + '/' + months[b[0]] + '/' + b[2];
    } 

    var s = 'May 13, 2012 12:00:00 AM'

    document.write(parseMMMDY(s)); // 13/05/2012

If you need a Date object and parsing of the time component is also required, that isn't difficult either.

Try like this 

var d = new Date("May 13, 2012 12:00:00 AM");
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
var formatedDate=(curr_date<10 ? "0"+curr_date:curr_date) + "/" + (curr_month<10? "0"+curr_month:curr_month ) + "/" + curr_year;
console.log(formatedDate);
