function stringToDate(_date,_format,_delimiter)
{
        var formatLowerCase=_format.toLowerCase();
        var formatItems=formatLowerCase.split(_delimiter);
        var dateItems=_date.split(_delimiter);
        var monthIndex=formatItems.indexOf("mm");
        var dayIndex=formatItems.indexOf("dd");
        var yearIndex=formatItems.indexOf("yyyy");
        var month=parseInt(dateItems[monthIndex]);
        month-=1;
        var formatedDate = new Date(dateItems[yearIndex],month,dateItems[dayIndex]);
        return formatedDate;
}

stringToDate("17/9/2014","dd/MM/yyyy","/");
stringToDate("9/17/2014","mm/dd/yyyy","/")
stringToDate("9-17-2014","mm-dd-yyyy","-")
