MomentJS displaying current time instead of API stored time - momentjs

Question

[enter image description here][1]I need assistance in momentjs.
I’m using momentjs for date and time formats.
The issue I’m facing is that momentjs is displaying the current date and time instead of the correct date and time that is stored in the API.
Below is my code:(eventStartUTC) is the stored time in the API.
var startTime = moment(item.eventStartUTC).format("HH:mm" + " - ");
var endTime = moment(item.eventEndUTC).format("HH:mm");
var finalTime = startTime.concat(endTime);
Values for eventStartUTC and eventEndUTC as stored in the API:
item.eventStartUTC - "26/11/2017 06:00:00",
item.eventEndUTC - "28/11/2017 15:00:00"
date and time api values: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6ajO3.png

As moment(String) states:
When creating a moment from a string, we first check if the string matches known ISO 8601 formats, we then check if the string matches the RFC 2822 Date time format before dropping to the fall back of new Date(string) if a known format is not found.
Since input (item.eventStartUTC and item.eventEndUTC) is neither in ISO 8601 nor RFC 2822 you have to use moment(String, String).
Here a live sample:
var item = {
eventStartUTC: '26/11/2017 06:00:00',
eventEndUTC: '28/11/2017 15:00:00'
};
var startTime = moment(item.eventStartUTC, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss').format("HH:mm" + " - ");
var endTime = moment(item.eventEndUTC, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss').format("HH:mm");
var finalTime = startTime.concat(endTime);
console.log(finalTime);
