to make secondo 00, we had uses  this script: 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}
var dt=newValue;
if(dt.slice(-2)!='00'){
g_form.setValue('u_date',dt.toString().slice(0,-2)+"00");
}
//
}

I was looking for something similar.

Here is the client script I used to set seconds to 00 and round the minutes to the nearest quarter hour.

This should give a base to start from.

This is best set in an onChange script for the date and time field you want to modify.

// Rounds seconds to 00 and minutes to the nearest quarter hour

var startDateTime = new Date(g_form.getValue("planned_start_date"));

var roundQuarterHour = ("0" + (((startDateTime.getMinutes() + 7.5)/15 | 0) * 15) % 60).slice(-2);

var roundedTime = startDateTime.getFullYear() + "-" + ("0" + (startDateTime.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + startDateTime.getDate()).slice(-2) + " " + ("0" + startDateTime.getHours()).slice(-2) + ":" + roundQuarterHour + ":" + "00";

g_form.setValue("planned_start_date", roundedTime);

I have updated my script to work much better now.
