This function will return you the date and time in the following format: YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS. It also works in Node.js.

function getDateTime() {      var date = new Date();      var hour = date.getHours();     hour = (hour < 10 ? "0" : "") + hour;      var min  = date.getMinutes();     min = (min < 10 ? "0" : "") + min;      var sec  = date.getSeconds();     sec = (sec < 10 ? "0" : "") + sec;      var year = date.getFullYear();      var month = date.getMonth() + 1;     month = (month < 10 ? "0" : "") + month;      var day  = date.getDate();     day = (day < 10 ? "0" : "") + day;      return year + ":" + month + ":" + day + ":" + hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec;  }
