jQuery the best? OR both and processing(Data visualization)- first post

Hi forum,
This is my first post here so apologies if i am unclear regarding the explanation.
I am on quite a deadline(within a week). 
Anyway, i am working on this data visualization project(which will be up soon online). You can see the hair-pulling data here. I have been working with processing for this, and done with 60-70% of the code. But now i am stuck with quite a lot of things. Also, since i can't use java libraries in processing. 
About mid-way i got to know about D3.js, but it was pretty late for me to change.
Firstly, what i want to do, draw curves(bezier curves) from one place to another on a MAP, when i user clicks on an location. ALSO, the main part is depicting current time on the curve( if current time is 15:00:00 and the departure time and arrival time is 14:00:00 and 16:00:00, the current point should be somewhere in the middle etc.

So looking at all this and the current data-
1. I have plans to collect data and send to processing through javascript from the Pomax guide tutorial using processing js. . Find it here. Am i thinking right?

2. Using jQuery plug-in's, reading data directly from the html would be better(rather than using tsv, as i was in processing). After that i again send it to processing. 

3. Find a part of my code and discussion on the processing forum here

Really hope to see a elaborate reply.
