If you are always dealing with the time in h:mma format, you can specify it when parsing...

var beginningTime = moment('8:45am', 'h:mma');
var endTime = moment('9:00am', 'h:mma');
console.log(beginningTime.isBefore(endTime)); // true
console.log(beginningTime.toDate()); // Mon May 12 2014 08:45:00
console.log(endTime.toDate()); // Mon May 12 2014 09:00:00

It will use today as the date, so it won't work if you are spanning different days.
