In order for the grid to format the date properly you need to convert it into a JS date. I usually do that in the callback from the ajax call retrieving the data from the server. Something like that:

api.get('some server url').then(function(data) {
  if (data.SomeDate) data.SomeDate = new Date(data.SomeDate);
});

(This is a pseudo code, don't use it directly)

This will allow you to format the date as:

field="SomeField" format='{0:d}

or

field="SomeField" format='{0:MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a}

Hope that helps.
