Unable to compare date & time with current time?

Question

I am using bootstrap date time picker library and getting value from document like this.

var accountExpiry = jQuery(".tempExpiry input").val(); 

returns = "12 October 2015 - 03:35 PM"

and my goal is to compare accountExpiry time with Date.now() and alert user Expiry must greater than current time.

I have tried following jquery but that is wrong:

var accountExpiry = jQuery(".tempExpiry input").val();
if (accountExpiry > Date.now()) { 
    console.log("OK");
} else { 
    console.log("Select time must be greater than current"); 
}

Demo

var accountExpiry = "12 October 2015 - 08:35 AM"; //change this with jQuery(".tempExpiry input").val()
var date = new Date(Date.parse(accountExpiry.replace(" -",""))) ;
if (date > new Date(Date.now())) { 
    console.log(date , new Date(Date.now()) ,"less");
} else { 
    console.log(date , new Date(Date.now()) ,"greater"); 
}
