I think you would have to manually parse it into that format, which actually isn't too bad. What Date.toLocaleString() returns is a format of:

MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MM:SS

Here's my code snippet to help you out:

// Parse our locale string to [date, time]
var date = new Date().toLocaleString('en-US',{hour12:false}).split(" ");

// Now we can access our time at date[1], and monthdayyear @ date[0]
var time = date[1];
var mdy = date[0];

// We then parse  the mdy into parts
mdy = mdy.split('/');
var month = parseInt(mdy[0]);
var day = parseInt(mdy[1]);
var year = parseInt(mdy[2]);

// Putting it all together
var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + day + ' ' + time;
