The following script seems to work with the two file formats you gave as samples. This was tested using the Korn shell, but it should work with any shell that recognizes basic Bourne shell syntax:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
awk '
BEGIN {	mon["Jan"] = "01";	mon["Feb"] = "02";	mon["Mar"] = "03"
	mon["Apr"] = "04";	mon["May"] = "05";	mon["Jun"] = "06"
	mon["Jul"] = "07";	mon["Aug"] = "08";	mon["Sep"] = "09"
	mon["Oct"] = 10; 	mon["Nov"] = 11;	mon["Dec"] = 12
	FS = OFS = "|"
}
function dc(fn,		d, h, n) {
	n = split(" " $fn, d, /[ :]+/)
	h = (d[5] == 12 ? 0 : d[5]) + (d[8] == "AM" ? 0 : 12)
	$fn = sprintf("%s/%s/%s %02d.%s.%s", mon[d[2]], d[3], d[4], h, d[6], d[7])
}
NF == 7 {
	dc(3)
}
{	dc(NF)
}
1' "$1"

Save the above code in a file (I used tester) for this example and make it executable:
Code:
chmod +x tester

I strongly encourage you not to include spaces and quotes in your filenames. But, with the sample files you specified, the following commands seem to convert your files as requested:
Code:
./tester 'File1 '

produces the output:
Code:
Richard|Standard | Not asigned| Insured | New York |01/01/2015 23.00.00
John | Not Standard |  asigned| Insured | New York |01/01/2015 23.00.00
James | No| Assigned| No| New york |01/01/2015 23.00.00

And, the command:
Code:
./tester 'File 2"'

produces the output:
Code:
Richard|Standard |11/01/2014 22.00.00| Not asigned| Insured | New York |01/01/2015 23.00.00
John | Not Standard |01/05/2014 23.00.00|  asigned| Insured | New York |01/01/2015 23.00.00
James | No|09/01/2014 10.00.00| Assigned| No| New york |01/01/2015 23.00.00

dm_date

DM_DATE(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						DM_DATE(1)

NAME

       dm_date - print out the system date and time

SYNOPSIS

       This performs the same operation as the unix 'date' command, but using the Date::Manip module.

	  dm_date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]

DESCRIPTION

       This displays information about the current system time, or some other time. Options are:

       -h, --help
	   Print online help.

       -d STRING, --date=STRING
	   Display time described by STRING. STRING can be any string which can be parsed by Date::Manip.  Please refer to the Date::Manip::Date
	   documentation for details.

       -f DATEFILE, --file=DATEFILE
	   This reads each line in DATEFILE, and extracts a date from it and prints out the information.

	   Blank lines and lines starting with a pound (#) are ignored. Lines not containing a valid date are also ignored.

       -r FILE, --reference=FILE
	   Displays the last modification time of FILE.

       -R, --rfc-2822
	   Displayc the date and time in RFC 2822 format.

	   Example: Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:34:56 -0600

       -u, --utc, --universal
	   Converts the date to UT (GMT) and prints out the information.

       Only one of -d, -f, or -r should be included. If more than one is included, the first one from the list (-d, -f, -r) is used and any other
       is ignored.

       The format string starts with a plus (+) and contains any of the format directives described in Date::Manip::Date.

KNOWN BUGS

       None known.
