I have this date "Wednesday, 4th Apr 2018" format and I am trying to format this in "yyyy-MM-dd". It's working fine for all months but getting issue for April and august month. I am not getting what is the issue as it's working with other months This is my code 

var Arrivaldte = Date.parse("Wednesday, 4th Apr 2018").toString('yyyy-MM-dd');
console.log(Arrivaldte);

    There is no jQuery in your question - [date toString](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toString) does not take a format. I think you meant [dateTimeFormat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat) – mplungjan Mar 27 '18 at 09:08

    @phuzi - that is a VERY old post. There must be a better/newer post – mplungjan Mar 27 '18 at 09:12

    Also your parse does not accept that format. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse – mplungjan Mar 27 '18 at 09:15

Using Mozilla docs as reference, your date string does not meet the standard RFC2822 .

That th part should be removed. Example:

var Arrivaldte = new Date("Wednesday, 4 Apr 2018").toString('yyyy-MM-dd');
console.log(Arrivaldte);

Alternatively, use moment.js:

moment("Wednesday, 4th Apr 2018")

But, be aware of this deprecation warning:

Value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and versions. Non RFC2822/ISO date formats are discouraged and will be removed in an upcoming major release
