Update: Please see marked answer as a better solution to implement this. The following solution is no longer required.

Converting the json date to this format "mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss"
dateFormat is a jasondate format.js file found at blog.stevenlevithan.com

var _meetStartTime = dateFormat(now, "mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss");
