JavaScript Date/Time Formatting

Question

I am needing to convert the standard Date(); JS object to the following format: 7/13/2021 8:47:58 PM (M/d/yyyy HH:mm:ss Z)

I'm struggling to get this EXACT format in the simplest way possible. This is what I have so far:

var d = new Date, dformat = [d.getMonth()+1, d.getDate(), d.getFullYear()].join('/')+' '+ [d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds()].join(':'); console.log(dformat);

I am struggling to get the time zone, which I am conjecturing adds the AM/PM (I could very well be mistaken).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

AM/PM has nothing to do with time zone, just whether the time is before or after noon. — Heretic Monkey

var d = new Date, dformat = [d.getMonth()+1, d.getDate(), d.getFullYear()].join('/')+' '+ d.toLocaleTimeString('en-US') console.log(dformat);

Thank you so much!

Because new Date().toLocaleString('en-US').replace(',', '') is not enough code? ;-)

Try this:

var d = new Date(); console.log(d.toLocaleString());
