You can get the parts of the date using a regex, and call the Date constructor, adjusting the month number, since the month numbers are zero based, for example:
function customDateParse (input) {
var m = input.match(/(\d+)/g);
return new Date(m[2], m[1] - 1, m[0], m[3], m[4], m[5]);
}
customDateParse('23/08/2009 12:05:00');
// Sun Aug 23 2009 12:05:00
If you don't like regexps:
function customDateParse (input) {
input = input.split(' ');
var date = input[0].split('/'),
time = input[1].split(':');
return new Date(date[2], date[1] - 1, date[0], time[0], time[1], time[2]);
}
customDateParse('23/08/2009 12:05:00');
// Sun Aug 23 2009 12:05:00
But if you find that complex and you are willing to do more Date manipulations I highly recommend you the DateJS library, small, opensource and syntactic sugar...

Use momentjs to convert from string to Date object.
var date = '23/08/2009 12:05:00';
var datetime = moment(date, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss');
datetime = moment.toDate();
