This example:
moment('1977-08-20 14:29:00 UTC').format('MMM. d, YYYY');

The 'd' should be 'D' to give Aug, 20, 1977

I have to make a time difference between server time (Netherlands) and local. I have to check 24 laps time after last modification. How can I convert current client side time to Netherlands time so that I can check difference.
