Javascript to get date & time without chars and spaces

I need a javascript that will get the current date time and then strip off all spaces and chars.

For example;

Fri 01 22 2016 20:09:23 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

Remove all spaces and chars: 01222016200923

If you do want to do it in just native JavaScript, then here is a straight forward (not overly clever) approach. A couple of functions that then take a date and format as you wanted.

var d = new Date()
alert(fmtdate(d))

function fmtdate(d) {
    return d.getFullYear()+zpad2(d.getMonth()+1)+zpad2(d.getDate())+zpad2(d.getHours())+zpad2(d.getMinutes())+zpad2(d.getSeconds())
}

function zpad2(n) {
    if (n<10) { n = ("0"+n); }
    return n;
}
