JavaScript date conflict with month

Hi I am using following code to format my date string

var monthNames = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", 
                  "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", 
                  "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var AddedDate = new Date('04/11/2016 11:36:15');
alert(AddedDate.getDate() + ' ' + monthNames[AddedDate.getMonth()] + '\'' + AddedDate.getYear());

here the input date format is in DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss But when I getDate() it gives date as 11 and getmonth() gives as Apr. How can i fix this. Please help. And also is there a way to get year as 16 for 2016.

Current Output i am getting is 11 Apr'116

Expected Output is 04 Nov'16

If you want the date in dd/mm/year format.I took off the time part and split string into array and created a date with date,month and year

To get short year,i have taken the substr(2,2)

check the snippet

var monthNames = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];

var dateString = '04/11/2016 11:36:15';

dateString = dateString.split(' ')[0];

var dateParts = dateString.split("/");

var date = dateParts[2];
var month = dateParts[1] - 1;


var dateObject = new Date(date, month, dateParts[0]);


var yearShort = dateObject.getFullYear().toString()
alert(dateObject.getDate() + ' ' + monthNames[dateObject.getMonth()] + '\'' + yearShort);

Hope it helps

You are passing the wrong date format into new Date(). The valid date string format is stated here.

ISO Date : "2015-03-25" (The International Standard)
Short Date: "03/25/2015"
Long Date : "Mar 25 2015" or "25 Mar 2015"
Full Date : "Wednesday March 25 2015"

the default date string format in Javascript is mm/dd/yyyy. So in your case it is considered 11 April 2016. FOr month itself, javascript function getMonth() will return month number in 0 based index. so April == 3. to getting the year 2016 you should use getFullYear() instead

if you want to force javascript to get input dd/mm/yyyy You have to do it yourself, like this:

var myDate = "04/11/2016".split("/");
var AddedDate = new Date(myDate[2], myDate[1] - 1, myDate[0]);

The just do new Date('11/04/2016 11:36:15');

The format is month/day/year etc.
