Current time value

I created table on a widget that has columns. One of the column fields is a date/time field. 

Currently the date shows up correct but it's not pulling in the current time value. How do I also add the current time into the date field value in GMT stored in 'u_arrival_date'?

 

Currently in my widget to pull the date I coded:

c.form.u_arrival_date = new Date();

Yes

@asher14 

then use this

var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_format);
c.form.u_arrival_date = today_date_str;

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
