I would recommend you use the literal notation, and the \s character class:
//.. return str.replace(/\s/g, ''); //..
There’s a difference between using the character class \s and just ' ', this will match a lot more white-space characters, for example '\t\r\n' etc.., looking for ' ' will replace only the ASCII 32 blank space.
The RegExp constructor is useful when you want to build a dynamic pattern, in this case you don’t need it.
Moreover, as you said, "[\s]+" didn’t work with the RegExp constructor, that’s because you are passing a string, and you should “double escape” the back-slashes, otherwise they will be interpreted as character escapes inside the string (e.g.: "\s" === "s" (unknown escape)).
