How to set specific timezone in datepicker using jquery only?

Question

I have a field and applying datepicker on it using jQuery.

he is currently getting time from the system / browser.

I want it to get time from a specific time zone, such as America / new_york.

The parameter endDateis the key for setting the calendar, which means that the user will not be able to choose datefrom the future. Currently, it looks as follows

Code snippet:

jQuery('#convo_start_date').datepicker({
    format: 'dd M yyyy',
     endDate: '+0d',
     autoclose: true,
     showButtonPanel: true, 
     todayBtn: 'linked'
    }).on('change', function () {
        jQuery('.datepicker').hide();
        jQuery('#convo_end_date').attr('value',jQuery('#convo_start_date').val());
    });

Question: Is there a way to set a default time zone, such as America / new_york, so as not to allow a date from the future (according to this particular time zone)?
