The globalize plugin has date parsing and formatting features.
Here is an example from the plugin page:
Globalize.format( new Date(1955,10,5), "dddd MMMM d, yyyy" ); // "Saturday November 5, 1955"

Where did the OP tell that he's using jQuery?

The globalize plugin does not need jQuery.
The date.js library is very useful for working with Dates.
Formatting examples:
Date.today().toString("dddd MMMM d, yyyy"); // Monday November 19, 2007
Date.today().toString(); // native .toString() functionality
Date.today().toString("M/d/yyyy"); // 11/19/2007
Date.today().toString("d-MMM-yyyy"); // 19-Nov-2007
new Date().toString("HH:mm"); // 18:45
Parsing examples:
Date.parse('today');
Date.parse('t + 5 d'); // today + 5 days
Date.parse('next thursday');
Date.parse('February 20th 1973');
Date.parse('Thu, 1 July 2004 22:30:00');
