How to convert time with a timezone to UTC in javascript

I want to write a method in javascript that takes a date and time zone and then returns a new date thats in UTC.

For example if I give it 

Date: 2016/06/21 16:00:00
Time zone: America/NewYork

I should get back 

Date: 2016/06/21 20:00:00

I looked at moment js, but seems like they didn't have a utc timezone name.
