var moment = require('moment-timezone');
var myDate = moment().tz("America/Los_Angeles").format('ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss z');

the above actually creates the exact thing i was looking for

You can check the Moment Js document says you can use moment.format() to get the format you want it, and for your case it will be the one below:

moment().format('dddd Do MMM YYYY h:mm:ss a');

You can use moment to create a specific format like this:

moment().format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a");

That will output the current time of the server/machine you are on into the format you are looking for, except for the timezone part. There is an additional moment-timezone package to use for timezones. This may be a good starting point for you on the timezone part based on the docs:

moment().tz('Etc/GMT+1').format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm ZZ')
