I want the following date string to be formatted using moment.js but it gives invalid date.
var dateString = '2/17/2016 12:16PM GMT-05:00';
var pattern = 'MM/DD/YYYY h:mma ZZ';
var testDate = moment(dateString).format(pattern); //Invalid Date
How to parse it correctly or is there any other way to do so?

PMmakes this an invalid date. Check it withnew Date('2/17/2016 12:16PM GMT-05:00'). – lxe Commented Feb 17, 2016 at 7:22

Reset to default 9Just use pattern as second parameter in moment function
var testDate = moment(dateString, pattern)
more here in the docs: http://momentjs./docs/#/parsing/string-format/
You can try it:
var dateString = '2/17/2016 12:16PM GMT-05:00';
var pattern = 'MM/DD/YYYY h:mma ZZ';
var testDate = moment(dateString, "MM/DD/YYYY h:mmA -hh:mm").format(pattern);
