To get the current date in JavaScript you can use new Date()method to generate a new Date object containing the current date and time.
var today = new Date();
var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy; document.write(today);
