Datetime GMTDate = Datetime.newInstanceGmt(2011,6,1,12,1,5);
String strConvertedDate = GMTDate.format('MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss', 'America/New_York');
System.assertEquals( '06/01/2011 08:01:05', strConvertedDate);

Hi Rajesh,

Please convert your date in below format. Then try below code:- 

String s1='11/6/2014 12:00 AM';
DateTime dt = DateTime.parse(s1); 
String utcDt = dt.format('dd-MM-yyyy', 'UTC');
System.debug('----------->'+utcDt );

Thanks,

Hi Rajesh,

Below code will resolve your issue :-

String myDate = 'Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 GMT 2014';
String strMnth    = myDate.substring(4,7);
String day        = myDate.substring(8,10);
String year       = myDate.substring(24,28);
string strMonth ;
if(strMnth=='Jan')
   strMonth ='1';
else if (strMnth == 'Nov' )
   strMonth ='11';

String strDate = strMonth +'/'+day+'/'+year;
System.debug('------>'+strDate );

Please add all else for all 12 mnths

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

Please use below code :-

String myDate = 'Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 GMT 2014';
String strMnth    = myDate.substring(4,7);
String day        = myDate.substring(8,10);
String year       = myDate.substring(24,28);
string strMonth ;
if(strMnth=='Jan')
   strMonth ='1';
else if (strMnth == 'Nov' )
   strMonth ='11';

String strDate = strMonth +'/'+day+'/'+year;
System.debug('------>'+strDate );
date mydate1 = date.parse(strDate);
System.debug('------>'+mydate1 );

Please check your "cookiestartdate" valiable format and update index in myDate.Substring(24,28) according to format.
Well above code is working fine for me:-

Hi,
         I also get like your debug only .
When i refresh page on that time debuglog Startdate is--------------------------> 2014-11-22 00:00:00
                                                 In an visualforce field location is------------>  Sat Nov 22 00:00:00 GMT 2014  

Based on which i will assign startdate inputText value(Datepicker)?

 Datetime thisDT =ffrec.Order_Create_Date__c;    //it was 2019-01-01 00:00:00
 string orderdate= thisDT.format('MM/dd/yyyy','GMT');   //output of this was 01/01/2019
when you format the datetime , it convert with userlocal time. so you need to change converted format in GMT.
