Suppose I have a datetime string 10/09/2019 10:03:00.000 AM.
Now, if I am in USA, I'll read it as 9th October 2019 and if I am in India, I'll read it as 10th September 2019.
So, my question is how do I parse this string as a Date object in such a way that it is parsed based on the local timezone.
I am using luxon, but, pure javascript solution will also work.

To create one from a standard string format, use DateTime.fromISO, DateTime.fromHTTP, and DateTime.fromRFC2822. To create one from a custom string format, use DateTime.fromFormat. To create one from a native JS date, use DateTime.fromJSDate.
Luxon is a library for dealing with dates and times in JavaScript. DateTime. now().
Luxon is a modern Javascript date/time library built by one of the Moment. js developers to address some shortcomings in the old standby for date manipulation. It shares a lot in common with Moment. js, but I recommend you reach for Luxon the next time you need to do heavy lifting on dates and times.
You can Convert the date value from String to Date in JavaScript using the `Date()`` class. You can also use parse, which is a static method of the Date class. You can also split the given string date into three parts representing the date, month, and year and then convert it to Date format.
Using a recent version of Luxon that supports the use of "macro" tokens in the parser:
> DateTime.fromFormat("10/09/2019 10:03:00.000 AM", "D hh:mm:ss.SSS a").toISO()
'2019-10-09T10:03:00.000-04:00'
> DateTime.fromFormat("10/09/2019 10:03:00.000 AM", "D hh:mm:ss.SSS a", { locale: "en-IN" }).toISO()
'2019-09-10T10:03:00.000-04:00'
IMO, this solution is brittle, in the sense that Luxon's parser here very strict, essentially requiring that the date part match exactly DateTime.toFormat in that locale, so differences in 0-padding, slashes vs hyphens, etc.
