How do I format date in jQuery datetimepicker?

Question

I use jQuery datetimepicker which was extended from jQuery datepicker to pick not only date but time too.

I want to set date/time format this way: dd-mm-yyyy @ hh:mm

$('#timePicker').datetimepicker({
  dateFormat: 'dd:mm:yyyy',
  separator: ' @ ',
  minDate: new Date()
});

But this does not work. I get date/time in following format:

Thu Jan 27 2011 02:05:17 GMT+0100

Is there any javascript function to format this date/time? If not how do I do that using the plugin? Check out my code: FIDDLE

Here you go.

$('#timePicker').datetimepicker({
   // dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
   format:'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss',
    minDate: getFormattedDate(new Date())
});

function getFormattedDate(date) {
    var day = date.getDate();
    var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
    var year = date.getFullYear().toString().slice(2);
    return day + '-' + month + '-' + year;
}

You need to pass datepicker() the date formatted correctly.
