How can I convert this date to a string whilst maintaining format?

In short this function returns a time which is then used to query a JSON file, it seems for the query to work my date needs to be in string format, It will not work if I pass the result of recent_time() into the query.

function recent_time(process) {
    date_array = []

    for (var object in process) {
        var processtime = new Date(process[object]);
        date_array.push(processtime)
    }

    max_date = new Date(Math.max.apply(null, date_array));
    return max_date
}

Currently the value returned is in the format 2019-05-22T11:01:18.000Z I need it to read as this (for my json query purpose):

"2019-05-22T11:01:18.000Z" - note it is in string format

I have tried return max_date.toString() However this returns the format

Wed May 22 2019 11:01:18 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time)

Any help is appreciated

You are probably looking for the .toISOString() method.
