A variation on RobG's terrific answer.

Note that this will require that you run bleeding edge JavaScript as it relies on the arrow notation and spread operator.

function parseDateISOString(s) {
  let ds = s.split(/\D+/).map(s => parseInt(s));
  ds[1] = ds[1] - 1; // adjust month
  return new Date(...ds);
}
