Problem

I'm using Robin Herbot's excellent jQuery Input Masks plugin. [ https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask ]. It's quite complete and seems to have everything I need, but I can't seem to figure one thing out. How do I create a mask like: "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm pm" where both the date portion and the time portion work like the "date" and "time" masks work? I can use date or time, but datetime uses the European dd/mm format rather than the mm/dd format I need. I've tried several permutations, but I'm clearly missing something and the documentation takes a lot for granted.
