momentjs comes handy in such cases. You can run attached snippet to see results. It allows you to extract time difference easily. Also, you can work using several cultures and languages.

moment.locale('en');

var from = moment("2016-04-14 23:30");
var until = moment("2016-04-14 23:45");
var untilDay = moment("2016-04-15 03:45");
var untilMonth = moment("2016-03-14 06:33");

$('body').append(from.to(until) + "<br>");
$('body').append(from.to(untilDay) + "<br>");
$('body').append(from.to(untilMonth) + "<br>");

Remove the original post as to modify and inflect the proper answer

var date1 = new Date("2012-03-02");
var date2 = new Date("2012-04-15");
var daysDifference = new Date(date2 - date1);
var daysDifference = daysDifference/1000/60/60/24;
document.write(daysDifference);

Try it yourself.

var date1 = Date.parse("03/02/2012 09:51 pm");
var date2 = Date.parse("03/04/2012 06:00 pm");

var dayDiff = (date2 / (1000*60*60*24)) - (date1 / (1000*60*60*24));
