In plain javascript you have to write your own function for string format a date, for example for your string format:
var date = new Date(1469167371657); function stringDate(date) { var mm = date.getMonth()+1; mm = (mm<10?"0"+mm:mm); var dd = date.getDate(); dd = (dd<10?"0"+dd:dd); var hh = date.getHours(); hh = (hh<10?"0"+hh:hh); var min = date.getMinutes(); min = (min<10?"0"+min:min); return mm+'/'+dd+'/'+date.getFullYear()+" "+hh+":"+min; } console.log(stringDate(date));drier code version
var date = new Date(1469167371657); function stringDate(date) { return ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)+'/' +("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2)+'/' +date.getFullYear()+" " +("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2)+':' +("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2) } console.log(stringDate(date));

with pure js you can do the folowing
var d = new Date(); console.log(d.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + d.getDate() + "/" + d.getFullYear() + " " + d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes())

You can use - http://momentjs.com/ and have it done like:
moment(1469167371657).format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM')

You can do this with the following steps:
1) convert the timestamp to a date object.
var timestamp = "/Date(1469167371657)/"; // However you want to save whatever comes from your database timestamp = timestamp.substr(timestamp.indexOf("(")+1); // gives 1469167371657)/ timestamp = timestamp.substr(0,timestamp.indexOf(")")); // gives 1469167371657 var d = new Date(timestamp); 2) set it to your format
function leadZero(i) {if(i < 10) {return "0"+i;} return i;} // Simple function to convert 5 to 05 e.g. var time = leadZero(d.getMonth()+1)+"/"+leadZero(d.getDate())+"/"+d.getFullYear()+" "+leadZero(d.getHours())+":"+leadZero(d.getMinutes()); alert(time); Note: the date / timestamp you provided is too high for javascript to understand, so this example will not work correclty

I believe that number is milliseconds so to convert it to date, you would do this:
var time = new Date().getTime(); var date = new Date(time); alert(date.toString()); // Wed Jan 12 2011 12:42:46 GMT-0800 (PST) var time=1469167371657; var date = new Date(time); alert(date.toString()); 
date = new Date(1469167371657)
