Get local Date string and time string

I am trying to get the LocaleDateString and the LocaleTimeString which that would be toLocaleString() but LocaleString gives you GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time) which I wouldn't it to be shown.

Can I use something like: 

timestamp = (new Date()).toLocaleDateString()+toLocaleTimeString();

Thanks alot

If you build up the string using vanilla methods, it will do locale (and TZ) conversion automatically.

E.g.

var dNow = new Date();
var s = ( dNow.getMonth() + 1 ) + '/' + dNow.getDate() + '/' + dNow.getFullYear() + ' ' + dNow.getHours() + ':' + dNow.getMinutes();

You can use the local date string as is, just fiddle the hours, minutes and seconds.

This example pads single digits with leading 0's and adjusts the hours for am/pm.

function timenow() {
  var now = new Date(),
    ampm = 'am',
    h = now.getHours(),
    m = now.getMinutes(),
    s = now.getSeconds();
  if (h >= 12) {
    if (h > 12) h -= 12;
    ampm = 'pm';
  }

  if (m < 10) m = '0' + m;
  if (s < 10) s = '0' + s;
  return now.toLocaleDateString() + ' ' + h + ':' + m + ':' + s + ' ' + ampm;
}
console.log(timenow());
