convert string to Date Javascript

Question

Trying to convert a string to Javascript Date. My string:

var fullDate = this.date + " " + this.time + ":00";

gives an output: 24/12/2016 02:00:00

but trying to convert it in js Date object like:

 var k = new Date(fullDate); 

gives the output: Invalid Date

or even: var k = Date.parse(fullDate);

gives the output: NaN

Any help is welcome.

I was following instructions from http://www.datejs.com/ so far

Answer 1

Your format is invalid. Valid format is month/day/year, so try:

var fullDate = "12/24/2016 02:00:00";
var k = new Date(fullDate);

Hope I could help!
