Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>How to center the alignments for one of the items inside a flexible element with JavaScript</title>
<style> 
#xyz {
width: 220px;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid black;
display: -webkit-flex; /* Safari */
-webkit-align-items: initial; /* Safari 7.0+ */
display: flex;
align-items: initial;
}

#xyz div {
    -webkit-flex: 1; /* Safari 6.1+ */
    flex: 1;
}

#alignselfDiv {
    -webkit-align-self: center; /* Safari 7.0+ */
    align-self: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="xyz">
<div style="background-color:#99FF99;">Item1</div>
<div style="background-color:#33CCFF;" id="alignselfDiv">Item2  with more content.</div>
<div style="background-color:#FF99FF;">Item3</div>
</div>

<p>Click the "Try it" button to set the value of the alignSelf property to "stretch"</p>
<button onclick="w3r()">Try it</button>

<script>
function w3r() {
    document.getElementById("alignselfDiv").style.WebkitAlignSelf = "stretch"; // Code for Safari 7.0+
    document.getElementById("alignselfDiv").style.alignSelf = "stretch";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
