I was trying to use moment.js guys. But since I was having this error, "ReferenceError: moment is not defined", I had to skip it for now. I am using an temporary workaround for now.

function parseDate(dateString) {
    var dateTime = dateString.split(" ");
    var dateOnly = dateTime[0];
    var timeOnly = dateTime[1];

    var temp = dateOnly + "T" + timeOnly;
    return new Date(temp);
}
