If you are referencing moment.js then I would actually format in the knockout model.

var BiographicViewModel = function (person) {
    this.FirstName = ko.observable(person.first_name);
    this.LastName = ko.observable(person.last_name);
    this.DOB = ko.observable(moment(person.birth_date).format("MM/DD/YYYY"));
    this.Gender = ko.observable(person.gender);
    this.Country = ko.observable(person.country);
    this.City = ko.observable(person.city);        
};
