I'm late to the party, but I thought I'd share a funtion that doesn't use regex:

function setDateTime(date, time) {
    var index = time.indexOf("."); // replace with ":" for differently displayed time.
    var index2 = time.indexOf(" ");

    var hours = time.substring(0, index);
    var minutes = time.substring(index + 1, index2);

    var mer = time.substring(index2 + 1, time.length);
    if (mer == "PM"){
        hours = hours + 12;
    }


    date.setHours(hours);
    date.setMinutes(minutes);
    date.setSeconds("00");

    return date;
}
