The numeric date time your are referring to is called a timestamp. It is the number of seconds elapsed since january 1st of 1970 if i'm not wrong.
To send a date to javascript, just print it out using the timestamp x 1000 since it also accepts millisecond initialization format:
mydate = new Date(<?php echo $mytimestamp*1000; ?>);
Good luck

This is a Unix epoch timestamp. See the following thread for the how-to:

Your value is the number of seconds that has passed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00, called the Unix epoch.
JavaScript counts the number of milliseconds instead, thus you have to multiply your timestamp with 1000 prior to using it to create a JavaScript date-object.
var phptimestamp = 1328569380;
var date = new Date(phptimestamp * 1000);
