How to get AM or PM?

I have buttons with the names of big cities.

Clicking them, I want to get local time in them.

$('#btnToronto').click(function () {

    var hours = new Date().getHours();

    var hours = hours-2; //this is the distance from my local time

    alert ('Toronto time: ' + hours + ' h'); //this works correctly

});

But how can I get AM or PM ?

Try below code:

$('#btnToronto').click(function () {

    var hours = new Date().getHours();

    var hours = (hours+24-2)%24; 

    var mid='am';

    if(hours==0){ //At 00 hours we need to show 12 am

    hours=12;

    }

    else if(hours>12)

    {

    hours=hours%12;

    mid='pm';

    }

    alert ('Toronto time: ' + hours + mid);

});
