Answer 1

Moment.js is a library which you can use to get the output and do some advanced operations with date and timezones. Below is the code to get expected output.

 var moment = require('moment')

 created_at="September 17th 2019, 16:50:17.000";  
 let new_time = moment("September 17th 2019, 16:50:17.000", "MMMM Do YYYY, HH:mm:ss:SSS");
 created_at = new_time.toISOString();
 console.log(created_at);

You will have to pass the date string in below format in order to convert it to ISO date:

var date 1 = "September 17 2019, 16:50:17.000";
let new_date = new Date(date1);
console.lof(new_date);
console.log(new_date.toISOString());
