How to compare two dates with different formats in javascript

Question

I have two dates:

D1 = 2017-05-01 00:00:00 and
D2 = Thu Jun 01 2017 16:12:08 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) "d".

How can I compare these two dates in javascript?

if (D1>D2) { do something } else { do something}

Question edited to change jquery to javascript due to obvious misunderstanding of the difference between jquery and javascript — freedomn-m, Jun 01 '17 at 10:56
Not sure why this was voted 'too broad', even from the original unedited question. The close reason just shows the first reason voted - it was also off-topic (not enough info) and a duplicate. — freedomn-m, Jun 01 '17 at 10:58

Why jquery? simply Do with new Date()

var D1 = '2017-05-01 00:00:00'
var D2 = 'Thu Jun 01 2017 16:12:08 GMT+0530';

console.log(new Date(D1).getTime(),new Date(D2).getTime())
