I tried it with below code

var address = city_name;
geocoder.geocode({'address': address},function(results, status){
    if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK)
    {
        map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
    }else
    {
        alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
    }
});

You have to use Google geocoder. It's API is here. With it's help you can take lat-long like so:

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({
    address: "Your address here"
}, function(results, status) {
    // here you get your result
});
