Reading the comments I think I understand what you're trying to achieve. Try this:

var oldDate = new Date("Thu Jan 01 1970 21:30:00 GMT +0530(IST)");
var newDate = new Date();
newDate.setHours(oldDate.getHours());
newDate.setMinutes(oldDate.getMinutes());
newDate.setSeconds(oldDate.getSeconds());

Then newDate should contain the date you desire.

You are getting the Date Object. Use something like below to get custom one.

date.getDay() + '-' + date.getDate() + '-' + (date.getMonth()+1) + '-' + date.getFullYear()
