how do i convert Month to Seconds and Days are based on Month

hi,

i'm writing an AWK script in which i need to convert one of my data field to total seconds. the data field is written in the file as

 "day-month-2024 hour:minutes:seconds"
for example  "17-apr-2024 08:58:45.6789"

i know how to convert a single day, the year, the hour, and the minutes. what i don't know how to convert to seconds is the month because that changes the number of Days.

thanks for your help!
