Set date in bootstrap datetimepicker input
The correct syntax is :
$('#datetimepicker2').datetimepicker({
date: new Date(1434544882775)
});
You want to set a default date value :
var d = $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
"defaultDate":new Date()
});

quote from http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Functions/
Note All functions are accessed via the data attribute e.g. $('#datetimepicker').data("DateTimePicker").FUNCTION()
So you can update date like following:
$('#datetimepicker2').data("DateTimePicker").date(new Date());
Had to add, I was able to solve it.
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({});
$('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").date(moment(new Date ).format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm'));
