DateJS is your friend: http://www.datejs.com/

It parses pretty much anything reasonable you throw at it:

// Convert text into Date
Date.parse('today');
Date.parse('t + 5 d'); // today + 5 days
Date.parse('next thursday');
Date.parse('February 20th 1973');
Date.parse('Thu, 1 July 2004 22:30:00');

It's not perfect, but it does a pretty good job.

var p = "04-22-1980 12:22".split(/-|\s+|:/);
// new Date(year, month, day [, hour, minute, second, millisecond ])
new Date(p[2], p[0] - 1, p[1], p[3], p[4]);
// => Tue Apr 22 1980 12:22:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)
