Answer 1

Have you looked at this

dateFormat(now, "mmm dd, yyyy hh:MM:ss");

it is light weight (1.2 KB) and supports the following formats

• d Day of the month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit days.
• dd Day of the month as digits; leading zero for single-digit days.
• ffffd Day of the week as a three-letter abbreviation.
• ffffdd Day of the week as its full name.
• m Month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit months.
• mm Month as digits; leading zero for single-digit months.
• mmm Month as a three-letter abbreviation.
• mmmm Month as its full name.
• yy Year as last two digits; leading zero for years less than 10.
• yyyy Year represented by four digits.
• h Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock).
• hh Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock).
• H Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
• HH Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
• M Minutes; no leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase M unlike CF timeFormat's m to avoid conflict with months.
• MM Minutes; leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase MM unlike CF timeFormat's mm to avoid conflict with months.
• s Seconds; no leading zero for single-digit seconds.
• ss Seconds; leading zero for single-digit seconds.
• l or L Milliseconds. l gives 3 digits. L gives 2 digits.
• t Lowercase, single-character time marker string: a or p.
• tt Lowercase, two-character time marker string: am or pm.
• T Uppercase, single-character time marker string: A or P. Uppercase T unlike CF's t to allow for user-specified casing.
• TT Uppercase, two-character time marker string: AM or PM. Uppercase TT unlike CF's tt to allow for user-specified casing.
• Z US timezone abbreviation, e.g. EST or MDT. With non-US timezones or in the Opera browser, the GMT/UTC offset is returned, e.g. GMT-0500
• o GMT/UTC timezone offset, e.g. -0500 or +0230.
• S The date's ordinal suffix (st, nd, rd, or th). Works well with d.
• '…' or "…" Literal character sequence. Surrounding quotes are removed.
• UTC: Must be the first four characters of the mask. Converts the date from local time to UTC/GMT/Zulu time before applying the mask. The "UTC:" prefix is removed.
