Answer 1

localization or moment.js was not work for me while using datetimepicker. splitting hour and then checking is working. I am using format: 'dd.mm.yyyy hh:ii' for datetimepicker.

$.validator.methods.date = function (value, element) {
    var dateL = value.split(" ");
    var date = dateL[0].split(".");
    var hour = dateL.length > 1 ? dateL[1].split(":") : "";
    return this.optional(element) || !/Invalid|NaN/.test(dateL.length > 1 ? new Date(date[2], date[1], date[0],hour[0],hour[1]).toString() : new Date(date[2], date[1], date[0]).toString());
}
