How to add specific time to existing date in javascript?

Question

I have a specific date and time value from date and time picker. I need to schedule a event on the specific date and time. How to append the time to the date like,

var date = "1/19/2017"
// and
var time = "10:04 pm"

How to add this specific time to the date so that event triggers only on the scheduled date and time?

Answer 1

If this is what you want. This converts specific time to ms

var dateStr = "1/19/2017";
var timeStr = "10:04 pm";

var createDate = new Date(dateStr +" "+timeStr).getTime();
alert(createDate);
