Add a string to a input from form

Question

So, I am a real beginner in js and I have a form with 2 inputs. In this inputs I have date pickers so that the user can select a date from a calendar. But the db from the site I work on has this date format: Y M D 0000:00:00. I want to add those zeros at the end automatically when a user selects a date. Don't know if anyone can help, but thanks.

window.onload = function(){
        new JsDatePick({
            useMode:2,
            target:"inputField",
            dateFormat:"%Y-%M-%d"
        });
        new JsDatePick({
            useMode:2,
            target:"inputField2",
            dateFormat:"%Y-%M-%d"
        });
    };
<form action="insert.php" method="post" target="000:00:00 "onsubmit="return validateForm(this)">
<label for="FUP start date">FUP start date:</label> 
<input type="text" name="inputField" id="inputField"/>
</br>
</br>
<label for="FUP end date">FUP end date:&nbsp;</label> 
<input type="text" name="inputField2" id="inputField2" />

I'm assuming you can simply alter the dateFormat given to each JsDatePick to include those zeroes, like so:

new JsDatePick({
  useMode: 2,
  target: "inputField",
  dateFormat: "%Y-%M-%d 0000:00:00"
});

It would be helpful if you could provide information on the date picker you are using.
