I think this is the best way to do it...

var date = new Date();

var options = {
  weekday: "short",
  year: "numeric",
  month: "2-digit",
  day: "numeric",
  hour: 'numeric',
  minute: 'numeric',
  second: 'numeric',
  timeZoneName: 'short'
};

console.log(
  date.toLocaleDateString("en", options) //en is language option, you may specify..
);

More Options and their examples....

I think the function toLocaleDateString use the default local data on the device.

try this code to check the output:

// America/Los_Angeles for the US
// US English uses month-day-year order
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'));
// → "12/19/2012"

// British English uses day-month-year order
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB'));
// → "20/12/2012"

// Korean uses year-month-day order
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('ko-KR'));
// → "2012. 12. 20."

// Arabic in most Arabic speaking countries uses real Arabic digits
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('ar-EG'));
// → "٢٠‏/١٢‏/٢٠١٢"

// chinese
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('zh-Hans-CN'));
// → "2012/12/20"

JavaScript Date toLocaleString() This method formats a date into a string, using language specific format.

Examples :

Only date :

var n = new Date();
console.log("es-CL: " + n.toLocaleDateString("es-CL"));
// es-CL: 03-09-2021

Date with Time :

var n = new Date();
console.log("es-CL: " + n.toLocaleString("es-CL"));
// es-CL: 03-09-2021 17:56:58
