Question

but what I want is xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx formatted time s

jonathan's answers lacks the leading zero. There is a simple solution to this:

function getFormattedDate(){
    var d = new Date();

    d = d.getFullYear() + "-" + ('0' + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ('0' + d.getDate()).slice(-2) + " " + ('0' + d.getHours()).slice(-2) + ":" + ('0' + d.getMinutes()).slice(-2) + ":" + ('0' + d.getSeconds()).slice(-2);

    return d;
}

basically add 0 and then just take the 2 last characters. So 031 will take 31. 01 will take 01...
