If you want it in a specific format then build the date string yourself. Google "javascript date format" for example code.

I would also recommend that you override the date time format to provide a similar string in every device and browser.

Few days back, I ran into the same problem and after GOOGLING found a solution as per my requirements.

Hope it will help to fulfill the OP's need or atleast will give an idea to fulfill them.

Add the below methods for date formatting,

JavaScript

function makeArray() {
    for (i = 0; i < makeArray.arguments.length; i++)
        this[i] = makeArray.arguments[i];
}

function getFullYear(d) {
    var y = d.getYear();
    if (y < 1000) { y += 1900 };
    return y;
}

var days = new makeArray("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
var months = new makeArray("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");

function formatDate(t) {
    var Day = t.getDay();
    var Date = t.getDate();
    var Month = t.getMonth();
    var Year = getFullYear(t);
    timeString = "";
    timeString += days[Day];
    timeString += ", ";
    timeString += months[Month];
    timeString += " ";
    timeString += Date;
    timeString += ", ";
    timeString += Year;
    return timeString;
}

and than simply call

HTML

formatDate(new Date())

it will return Tuesday, November 24, 2015.

Try this :

JavaScript

var d = new Date();

           var weekday = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];
           var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December']

           var hours = d.getHours();
           hours = (hours + 24) % 24;
           var Mid ='AM';
           if(hours == 0){
               hours = 12;
           }
           else if(hours > 12)
           {
                hours = hours % 12;
                Mid='PM';
           }

           var datestring = weekday[d.getDay()] + ', ' + months[d.getMonth()] + ' ' + d.getDate() + ", " + d.getFullYear() + " " + d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes() + ":" + d.getMilliseconds() + " " + Mid;

          document.getElementById("<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>").value = datestring;

Good luck.
