Since you have jQueryUI loaded there is a full date formatting utilty built in but it doesn’t handle time. Beyond that you need to work with native javscript Date object yourself or use a data library like date.js to simplify parsing.

Example using jQUeryUI: http://jsfiddle.net/qqLMd/

 var newDate=$.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', new Date('Mon Jun 18 2012 19:00:00');

Your assuredness that this was a simple jQUery process was misconceived. jQuery doesn not have any date handling in core API
