Need to reduce javascript method code for geting date format

Question

I am new to javascript. I used following method to get date time.

function getDateTime() {
var now     = new Date(); 
var year    = now.getFullYear();
var month   = now.getMonth()+1; 
var day     = now.getDate();
var hour    = now.getHours();
var minute  = now.getMinutes();
var second  = now.getSeconds(); 
if(month.toString().length == 1) {
    var month = '0'+month;
}
if(day.toString().length == 1) {
    var day = '0'+day;
}   
if(hour.toString().length == 1) {
    var hour = '0'+hour;
}
if(minute.toString().length == 1) {
    var minute = '0'+minute;
}
if(second.toString().length == 1) {
    var second = '0'+second;
}   
var dateTime = day+'-'+month+'-'+year+' '+hour+':'+minute;   
 return dateTime;

}

I want output like :

 day+'-'+month+'-'+year+' '+hour+':'+minute;

What is the best method for this

I am not using javascript into browser. so no support for momentjs.Thanks. — NovusMobile, Mar 11 '15 at 06:32

I think the best way to format date and time in Javascript is to use this lib. It's very simple to use.

var now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, "dd-mm-yyyy hh:MM:ss");
alert(now);
