Do you have an access to server-side code? Why would you need server time, not UTC, which would be logical? It you thing about it: who cares where the server is?

Since hidden fields are available in any web application so you can embed a hidden field in your page and set its value in server side and use it in client side javascript. so here is a sample ASP.NET solution :

XML

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="testdate.aspx.cs" Inherits="testdate" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body onload="writeServerdDT()">
<script>
    function writeServerdDT() {
        document.write(document.getElementById('serverDateTime').value);
    }
</script>

    <form id="form1" runat="server" >
    <asp:HiddenField  ID="serverDateTime" runat="server"/>
    <div>

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

and the CodeBehind :

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class testdate : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        serverDateTime.Value = DateTime.Today.ToString();
    }
}

Hope it helps.

Well... this might not be totally reliable, but you could use AJAX to request something from the server, then get the server time from the response header:
