Patch the date formatting in the module, using reference to the PHP date/time functions as a guide.

Just edit the:

jquery_countdown_timer.module

file in {site}/sites/all/modules/jquery_countdown_timer, and change the date display format, which is at about line 50 in the file, payign close attention to the PHP date/time function format codes (see link below).

I'm really bad at programming, i'm really sorry :(

This is the function:

$form['jquery_countdown_timer_date'] = array(
'#type' => 'date_select',
'#title' => t('Timer date'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('jquery_countdown_timer_date', date('Y-m-d G:i:s')),
'#date_format' => 'Y-m-d H:i',
);
break;

Do you know what exactly needs to be changed? if you could help me that would would be wonderful my friend

Read the PHP date/time formatting page and then change the codes:

Y-m-d G:i:s

'Y-m-d H:i

To match the format you want.

There may be more to do. I have not actually tried this myself. I just glanced at the code, to point you to it. You are going to have to learn enough rudimentary PHP and so forth to figure out the details.

Experiment with it and see what happens ...
