The accepted answer is indeed correct, but in my case, I needed the flexibility for the formats to adjust to different scales (think zooming), but also to ensure the 24hr clock is used. The key is to define a multi-resolution time format. See the Documentation page for details.

My code:

var axisTimeFormat = d3.time.format.multi([
    [".%L", function(d) { return d.getMilliseconds(); }],
    [":%S", function(d) { return d.getSeconds(); }],
    ["%H:%M", function(d) { return d.getMinutes(); }],
    ["%H:%M", function(d) { return d.getHours(); }],
    ["%a %d", function(d) { return d.getDay() && d.getDate() != 1; }],
    ["%b %d", function(d) { return d.getDate() != 1; }],
    ["%B", function(d) { return d.getMonth(); }],
    ["%Y", function() { return true; }]
 ]);

var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
    .scale(x)
    .orient("bottom")
    .tickFormat(axisTimeFormat);
