Answer 1

MM/DD/YYYY format

If you have the MM/DD/YYYY format which is default for JavaScript, you can simply pass your string to Date(string) constructor. It will parse it for you.

var dateString = "10/23/2015"; // Oct 23

var dateObject = new Date(dateString);

document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();
