This gets every date, add then convert it to string adding the 0 to the month, then merge all the dates:

string toJsonify = "2015-9-9,2015-9-10,2015-9-11,2015-9-12,2015-9-13,2015-9-14";
var dates = toJsonify.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
                .Select(s => DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyyy-M-d", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
                                     .ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));

var res = "[\"" + string.Join("\",\"", dates) + "\"]";

probably not the most elegant way of achieving what you want but using the JSON.net libaray you can get the results in a J array using the following code.

string sample = "2015-9-9,2015-9-10,2015-9-11,2015-9-12,2015-9-13,2015-9-14";
        List<string> list = sample.Split(',').ToList<string>();

        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(list);
        JArray result = JArray.Parse(json);
