I ended up doing this the hard way. I wish Javascript supported the C standard date and time specifiers to parse date strings, but I guess this will have to do:

jsfiddle

function getDateObj(inputStr){

  const monthObj = {
    'Jan':0,
    'Feb':1,
    'Mar':2,
    'Apr':3,
    'May':4,
    'Jun':5,
    'Jul':6,
    'Aug':7,
    'Sep':8,
    'Oct':9,
    'Nov':10,
    'Dec':11,
  };

  const regexMonth = /(...).*/;
  const regexDate = /.*?\ ([0-9]{2}).*/;
  const regexYear = /([0-9]{4})/;
  const regexHour = /([0-9]{2}):[0-9]{2}(AM|PM)/;
  const regexMin = /[0-9]{2}:([0-9]{2})(AM|PM)/;
  const regexAmpm = /[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}((AM|PM))/;
  const month = monthObj[inputStr.match(regexMonth)[1]];
  const date = parseInt(inputStr.match(regexDate)[1]);
  const year = parseInt(inputStr.match(regexYear)[1]);
  const hour = parseInt(inputStr.match(regexHour)[1]);
  const min = parseInt(inputStr.match(regexMin)[1]);
  const ampm = inputStr.match(regexAmpm);

  let realHour = 0;
  if (ampm[1] === 'PM') {
    realHour = parseInt(hour) + 12;
  } else {
    realHour = parseInt(hour);
  }

  const dateObj = new Date(year, month, date, hour, min, 0);
  return dateObj;
}

console.log(getDateObj('February 03, 2022 at 04:52PM').toString());
// "Thu Feb 03 2022 04:52:00 GMT+X (XXX Standard Time)"

Well with moment.js you can parse your string as it is and define the formatting. Head over to the librarys' page and open the dev console to play with it!

basically you do want to do this:

const date = moment('February 03, 2022 at 04:52PM', 'MMMM DD, YYYY at hh:mm A')
