Date conversion from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd using javascript

Question

I need to convert a date from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd. I am getting the input from a text box in dd/mm/yyyy format.When i try to convert it to yyyy/mm/dd i got the error invalid date.How can i convert it properly.

var start=request.param('startDate'); formatedStartDate = getYearMonthDate(new Date(start)); function getYearMonthDate(date){ var monthYear=date.getFullYear()+" "+date.getMonth()+ " " + date.getDate(); return monthYear; } — Hormis Lona, Jan 21 '15 at 06:44

Here's the snippet I found working

date="21/01/2015";
var newdate = date.split("/").reverse().join("-");
console.log(newdate)

Try this

var date= '21/01/2015';
var d=new Date(date.split("/").reverse().join("-"));
var dd=d.getDate();
var mm=d.getMonth()+1;
var yy=d.getFullYear();
var newdate=yy+"/"+mm+"/"+dd;
