How to convert date format from dd-MMM-yyyy to yyyymmdd in Javascript?

Question

I've an input text box with a date-picker, when the user selects a particular date, the date say 09-Dec-2014 gets applied to the input text box. On submit, I want the date to be passed to the server in yyyymmdd format say 20141209. So how to convert the date format in javascript?

var date = new Date(Date.parse('09-Dec-2014'));

Above code gives me 'Invalid date'.

Searched the net for solution but was not able to find for my problem.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks.

Thanks for the answers Danyal Sandeelo and Jeeva Jsb.

I was able to get the date in yyyymmdd format using the code given below.

var date = '09-Dec-2014'.split("-");
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun','Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
for(var j=0;j<months.length;j++){
    if(date[1]==months[j]){
         date[1]=months.indexOf(months[j])+1;
     }                      
} 
if(date[1]<10){
    date[1]='0'+date[1];
}                        
var formattedDate = date[2]+date[1]+date[0];
