The JavaScript Date constructor can parse the string for you: new Date("2009-04-12T20:44:55")

Warning - The Date() Constructor formats and parsing are non-standard before ECMAScript 6. For example, IE 9 treats the date you give the constructor as a local time even if it is in IS0-8601 whichs is implied as UCT everywhere else. Don't rely on the date constructor if you support older browsers. codeofmatt.com/2013/06/07/…

Sending non-UTC date will sooner or later get you into trouble.
