Hello,

Try this (format string syntax is explained here):

var result = dateFormat(new Date(), "MMMMM d, yyyy hh:mm a");

Note that formatting date/time on the server side is almost always a bad idea, because for doing so it uses server time zone (typically GMT). In most cases you should rather format it in a mashup (widgets like Grid, Value Display and others support time formatting on the client side in a similar fashion, thus automatically adjusting to the user's time zone). Few cases when you need to format date/time on the server side include sending emails, SMS, etc. -- but in this case please double-check the timezones and make sure you handle things like DST.

Regards,
Constantine
