I want to assign current date and time to field Rfleet_Protocol_Application_Date__c which datatype is date/time

Eg: Rfleet_Protocol_Application_Date__c =29/5/2016 2:28 PM

I tried in this way. But the value is not getting assigned.

javascript:

var newRecords = [];
var c = new sforce.SObject("Rfleet_Car_Set__c");
c.id = "{!Rfleet_Car_Set__c.Id}";
alert(new Date());
c.Rfleet_Protocol_Application_Date__c = new Date();
newRecords.push(c);

In alert am getting the current date and time.But am not able to assign the value. am getting the error as below !!

The date object that javascript uses has a different format than the one used by Salesforce. You have to convert the format. Here is a dev forum link which discuses about the same issue.

Code snippet from the link: 

var today = new Date();

function fixTime(time){
    if(time < 10) {time = "0" + time};
    return time;
}

function fixDate(date){
  var Month = fixTime(date.getMonth() + 1);
  var Day = fixTime(date.getDate());
  var UTC = date.toUTCString();
  var Time = UTC.substring(UTC.indexOf(':')-2, UTC.indexOf(':')+6);
  var Minutes = fixTime(date.getMinutes());
  var Seconds = fixTime(date.getSeconds());
  return date.getFullYear() + "-" + Month + "-" + Day + "T" + Time;
}

c.Rfleet_Protocol_Application_Date__c = fixDate(today);
