    Perhaps google could help you rather than asking people to give you code. It's very easy to find this answer. – Adam Oct 18 '13 at 13:28
  • are you using jQuery or javascript native date – Rituraj ratan Oct 18 '13 at 13:28

Try this: Today's date 

    var today = new Date();
    var dd = today.getDate();
    var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!

    var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
    if(dd < 10){
      dd='0'+dd;
    }
    if(mm < 10){
       mm="0"+mm;
    } 
    today = dd+':'+mm+':'+yyyy;
    console.log(today);

Try this

var fixDate = function (date){
   return date<10?"0"+date: date;
}

var dateStr = new Date();

console.log(fixDate(dateStr.getDate())+"-"+fixDate(dateStr.getMonth()+1)+"-" + dateStr.getFullYear());
