When you have your month, you'll need to calculate the first day and last day of the month and convert them to the ISO using to ISOString.
startDate.toISOString();
endDate.toISOString();
function searchList(startDate, endDate) {
    var nURL = "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
    var soapEnv = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?> \
                             <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"
                              xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"
                              xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">
                              <soap:Body> \
                              <GetListItems xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/\">
                              <listName>{YourList}</listName> \
                              <viewFields></viewFields> \
                              <query><Query><Where><And><Geq><FieldRef Name='DateField'
/><Value Type='DateTime'>" + startDate +"</Value></Geq><Leq><FieldRef Name='DateField'><Value Type='Datetime'>"+endDate+"</Leq></And></Where></Query></query> \
                              <queryOptions><QueryOptions><ViewAttributes Scope='Recursive'/></QueryOptions></queryOptions>
                              </GetListItems> \
                                  </soap:Body> \
                              </soap:Envelope>";
    $.ajax({
        url: nURL,
        beforeSend: function(xhr) {
            xhr.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems");
        type: "POST",
        dataType: "xml",
        data: soapEnv,
        complete: processResults,
        contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
function processResults(xData, status)
  var i;
   result = $(xData.responseText).find("z\\:row, row");
    if (result == undefined) {
        result = $(xData.responseXML).find("z\\:row, row");
    $(result).each(function(i, data) {
    //Magic   
      i++; 
    return i;
