one more doubt is How can i pass ejs variable into below script. Is it working if i pass same as below.

 <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/2.14.1/moment-with-locales.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    var ds = "<%=My Date as per DB%>"; // Here my dynamic data comes from mongodb database.
    var date = moment(new Date(ds.substr(0, 16)));
    date.format("YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00"));
  </script>

Answer 1

you can can achieve that from the server side using ejs syntax In your ejs page

data-countdown= "<%= typeof date != 'undefined'||'' ? date:'' %>"

your code has to be placed in the server

var ds =        // retrieve date from mongodb database.
    var date = moment(new Date(ds.substr(0, 16)));
    const date=date.format("YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00"));
pass the date to your ejs template

app.get('/',(req,res)=>{
        res.render('page name',date)
}
