var a = Date(); //Current Date Time
var b = new Date(0); //Milliseconds since Epoch (86400000 = 1 day)
var c = new Date("January 13, 2015 12:30:00"); //Datestring
var d = new Date(2015, 0, 13, 12, 30, 0, 0); //year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond, in that order. NOTE the month reference is from 0 so in most cases you will need to decrease month variable by 1

document.getElementById("a").innerHTML = a;
document.getElementById("b").innerHTML = b;
document.getElementById("c").innerHTML = c;
document.getElementById("d").innerHTML = d;
