Answer 1

Assuming you're able to include new libraries on your project, I'd highly recommend moment.js (MIT license) instead of writing this yourself. It solves problems like zero padding etc. for you.

Example

<script src="http://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Use an existing date object
var date = new Date("2014-11-18T20:50:01.462Z");
console.log(moment(date).format('HH:mm YYYY-DD-MM'));

// or use string directly
console.log(moment.utc("2014-11-18T20:50:01.462Z").format('HH:mm YYYY-DD-MM'));
</script>

Note by default moment will use your current timezone for output, this can be overridden using the zone() function

console.log(moment.utc("2014-11-18T20:50:01.462Z").zone(0).format('HH:mm YYYY-DD-MM'));
console.log(moment.utc("2014-11-18T20:50:01.462Z").zone('UTC+05:30').format('HH:mm YYYY-DD-MM'));

Output

20:50 2014-18-11
