Basically, your current format of string is good to go.

So, if in Javascript you write:

var requestedDate = new Date("2014/06/11 18:50");

var oldDate = new Date("2014/06/11 18:45");

and try to do a subtraction.

var val = requestedDate-oldDate;

val would be: 300000 .

Extending this further you could just use var oldDate = new Date()

and check if val>300000 , then you have a time greater than 5 minutes from now :)

Complete code:

function btnSubmit_Click() {

                var strval = document.getElementById("<%= tb_calimage.ClientID %>").value;
                var datecompare = new Date(strval);
                var currentDate = new Date();
                if (datecompare-currentDate <300000 ) {
                    alert('Please select date-time more than 5 minutes from now.');
                    return false;
                } 

                return true;
            }
