                        'todayHighlight' => true,

I have no idea about this ,please help me

Answer 1

Instead of

var date = $("#time_picker").datetimepicker('getDate').getTime()/1000;

Use

var date = $("#time_picker").val();

Because, First time you used DateTimePicker. It's Ok. While getting the value again for DateTimePicker, You are again initializing it $("#time_picker").datetimepicker...

So, My opinion is to use var date = $("#time_picker").val(); and do all calculations after getting date value.
