I believe that number is milliseconds so to convert it to date, you would do this:

var time = new Date().getTime();
var date = new Date(time);
alert(date.toString()); // Wed Jan 12 2011 12:42:46 GMT-0800 (PST)


var time=1469167371657;
var date = new Date(time);
alert(date.toString());

In plain javascript you have to write your own function for string format a date, for example for your string format:

var date = new Date(1469167371657);

function stringDate(date) {
  	var mm = date.getMonth()+1;
	mm = (mm<10?"0"+mm:mm);
	var dd = date.getDate();
	dd = (dd<10?"0"+dd:dd);
  	var hh = date.getHours();
  	hh = (hh<10?"0"+hh:hh);
  	var min = date.getMinutes();
  	min = (min<10?"0"+min:min);
  return mm+'/'+dd+'/'+date.getFullYear()+" "+hh+":"+min;
}

console.log(stringDate(date));

drier code version

var date = new Date(1469167371657);

function stringDate(date) {
  return ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)+'/'
  			+("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2)+'/'
  			+date.getFullYear()+" "
  			+("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2)+':'
  			+("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2)
}

console.log(stringDate(date));

You can do this with the following steps:

1) convert the timestamp to a date object.

var timestamp = "/Date(1469167371657)/"; // However you want to save whatever comes from your database
timestamp = timestamp.substr(timestamp.indexOf("(")+1); // gives 1469167371657)/
timestamp = timestamp.substr(0,timestamp.indexOf(")")); // gives 1469167371657
var d = new Date(timestamp);

2) set it to your format

function leadZero(i) {if(i < 10) {return "0"+i;} return i;} // Simple function to convert 5 to 05 e.g.
var time = leadZero(d.getMonth()+1)+"/"+leadZero(d.getDate())+"/"+d.getFullYear()+" "+leadZero(d.getHours())+":"+leadZero(d.getMinutes());
alert(time);

Note: the date / timestamp you provided is too high for javascript to understand, so this example will not work correclty

with pure js you can do the folowing

var d = new Date();
console.log(d.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + d.getDate() + "/" + d.getFullYear() + " " + d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes())

You can use - http://momentjs.com/ and have it done like:

moment(1469167371657).format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM')
