I am trying to use the datetime.js plugin to format my dates, using the example on the plugin page it doesn't appear to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Initializing the second table in that way also doesn't display the pager and other dom elements.

The columns array is zero index like all arrays in Javascript, so visible column 1 is actually index 0: https://jsfiddle.net/pp4nn5L6/1/ .
The problem you are seeing in that updated example is that Moment doesn't appear to like the time part: https://jsfiddle.net/pp4nn5L6/2/ . I'm not immediately sure why not!

Could this be a bug with the plugin? The below works fine so moment is parsing it correctly. If I specify that format with the plugin it comes back with invalid date.
alert(moment("2019-04-01T00:00:00", "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss").format("Do MMM YYYY"));
Looking at it again I needed to change it to this:
render: $.fn.dataTable.render.moment( 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss', 'D MMM YYYY')
Thanks for the update - you are absolutely correct. I missed that myself. Too much code floating around in my head ;-).
