How can i convert this datetime format:
2013-05-04 17:25:00
To a timezone that i can specify. Something like this:
convertTimeZone('2013-05-04 17:25:00', '+3');
And return the following datetime with the specified timezone?

Hopefully this is enough to get you started
// time should be a string in your format
// offset should be an int (i.e. 3 or -3)
function convertTimeZone(time, offset) {
time = time.replace('-','/');
return new Date(time).addHours(parseInt(offset, 10));
}
To be called as such
convertTimeZone('2013-05-04 17:25:00', 3);
convertTimeZone('2013-05-04 17:25:00', -3);
Javascript doesn't like - so replace them with / which it will accept. None of this uses jquery, this is just basic javascript.

Take a look at Moments.js
then you could do something like this (just an example may not match exactly what you are asking)
var date1 = moment.utc("2013-05-04 17:25:00").format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss");
console.log(date1.toString());
var date2 = moment.utc(date1).add("hours", 3).format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss");
console.log(date2.toString());
which will output
2013-05-04T17:25:00
2013-05-04T20:25:00
