There is a DateTime Tool in the Parse Tab. You select the type of formatting your date string is in and it converts it to alteryx's default date format.

If you only have a single column to parse. I suggest a DateTime tool. It can parse the format you have without a problem.
If you have multiple fields to parse then as @pcatterson mentioned use a MultiFieldFormula tool with the DateTImeParse function.
Simple sample attached with both methods
