What you need is 3 Date objects:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var curDt = new Date ();
// Year is set to 2000 no matter what (hack) so this will work for all
years.
curDt.setUTCFullYear (2000);
var earlyDt = new Date ("January 1, 2000 07:42:00");
var lateDt = new Date ("January 1, 2000 09:06:00");
// Check to see if within range. When 2 Date objects are subtracted, the
result is the difference in milliseconds.
if (((curDt - earlyDt) >= 0) && (curDt - lateDt) <= 0)) {
document.write ('Happy New Year');
} else {
document.write ('&nbsp;');
}

Documentation for the Date object is found at
