You can write your function to create UTC date with the time string. 

function toUTC(str) {
  let [h, m] = str.split(':');
  let date = new Date();
  date.setHours(h, m, 0)
  return date.toUTCString();
}

console.log(toUTC('8:3'))
console.log(toUTC('16:45'))

You don't need jQuery for such operations. Just the simple Date object will do the trick. Say you want to convert time from a specific date.

let date = new Date('2020-04-01'); // leave the Date parameter blank if today
date.setHours(16); // must be 24 hours format
date.setMinutes(45);
let theUTCFormat = date.getUTCDate();

Cheers,
