You can use Date object to do this work. now() method return timestamp in miliseconds. Of course javascript return timestamp with client time.

$(document).ready(function(event){
    var timeStamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
    $("div").text(timeStamp);
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div></div>

You will not get event object in ready call. As a workaround you can use $.now() for instance:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#x").text($.now());
});

@ehsan `$.now()` is method of jquery that return value of `(new Date).getTime()`. See http://api.jquery.com/jquery.now/ – Mohammad Jun 13 '16 at 14:44
