The date is being returned as milliseconds since epoch. The code below creates a JS date object:
var d = new Date(1245398693390);
var formattedDate = d.getDate() + "-" + (d.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + d.getFullYear();
var hours = (d.getHours() < 10) ? "0" + d.getHours() : d.getHours();
var minutes = (d.getMinutes() < 10) ? "0" + d.getMinutes() : d.getMinutes();
var formattedTime = hours + ":" + minutes;
formattedDate = formattedDate + " " + formattedTime;
Here's a working fiddle.
