Put it in quotes:
var date = new Date("1980-01-20T00:00:00")
var date = new Date("1980-01-20T00:00:00")
alert(date)

Only problem with this is:This will only work if you know the date format is right.. This works as long as you make sure thats the case.

@MarkSmit it will be the correct format, always, cause it is the default C#
DateTime format, which cannot change.Mark Smit
It actually does change if you avoid your application to use the invariant culture.
What you need is the amount of miliseconds from 1970:
long epochTicks = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1).Ticks
long unixTime = ((DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks - epochTicks) / TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond);
long javascriptTyme=unixTime*1000;
Thats the value you want to send to javascript
