Regular expression for DateTime validation in javascript

Question

I want to validate following date format in javascript.

01/26/2016 01:26:52 pm //true

01/26/2016 13:26:52 am //false

I have search on google, but not able to get regular expression which validate above date format.So please let me know how can I validate above date using regular expression.

You would not normally (should not...) use a 2 digit hour with am/pm - ie 01:26 is always 1am. 1:26 could be am or pm. — fdomn-m

Regex is really not the best way of doing this, due to the hundreds of different formats. — Rory McCrossan

Using Regex to validate the date is not a good idea in my opinion. You can instead try to use the Date object. Something like

alert(new Date("01/26/2016 01:26:52 PM"))

or

alert(new Date("01/26/2016 13:26:52 AM"))
