You just hand it to any JavaScript interpreter, e.g. your browser. — melpomene, Apr 02 '19 at 05:43

Is the value not what you expected? Try to print the date and make sure the value is what you wanted:

var dateTo = new Date(2019,04,03,3,15,0);
console.log(dateTo);

Also it is better to use only 4 and 3 instead of "04" and "03".

is this what you're going for?

#// Set the date we're counting down to
    var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2021 15:37:25").getTime();

  // Get todays date and time
  var now = new Date().getTime();

  // Find the distance between now and the count down date
  var distance = countDownDate - now;

  // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
  var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));


  console.warn("val", days);
