I think the original question can easily be answered with something being overlooked so far: a simple string split. The time being returned is a text string, just split it on the ":" delimiter and reassemble the string the way you want. No plug ins, no complicated scripting. and here ya go:

var myVar=setInterval(function(){myTimer()},1000);

function myTimer() {
    var d = new Date();
    currentNow = d.toLocaleTimeString();
    nowArray = currentNow.split(':');
    filteredNow = nowArray[0]+':'+nowArray[1];
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = filteredNow;
}
