Moment countdown to a date

I have 2 dates to which I am counting down from one to the other. I am using the moment library. I have found this answer here but it is not giving me the correct result.

The following code gives me the times below:

var eventTime =  new Date(startTime);
var currentTime =  new Date();

console.log(eventTime);
console.log(currentTime);

Fri Feb 24 2017 19:45:00 GMT+0000 (GMT) --> eventTime

Tue Feb 21 2017 08:42:42 GMT+0000 (GMT) --> currentTime

I have tried many varieties of the following,but cannot display the correct countdown time.

var eventTime = new Date('2017-02-24T19:45:00.000000+0000').getTime();
var currentTime = new Date().getTime()

console.log(eventTime);
console.log(currentTime)

var diffTime = eventTime - currentTime;
var duration = moment.duration(diffTime * 1000, 'milliseconds');
var interval = 1000;

setInterval(function() {
  duration = moment.duration(duration - interval, 'milliseconds');
  console.log(duration.days() + ':' + duration.hours() + ":" + duration.minutes() + ":" + duration.seconds())
}, interval);

.getTime() already returns milliseconds, no need to multiply it by 1000.

You have to change this line to this

var duration = moment.duration(diffTime * 1000, 'milliseconds');

to this

var duration = moment.duration(diffTime, 'milliseconds');
