You should make some effort to write your own code. There are thousands of duplicate questions here on SO. — RobG, Jul 26 '17 at 08:47

You can use the following methods:

var yyyy = date.getFullYear();
var mm = date.getMonth();
var dd = date.getDay();

Best way would be to write custom code, something like this.

  function formatDate(date) {
      var day = date.getDate();
      var month = date.getMonth();
      var year = date.getFullYear();

      return (month+1) + '/' + day + '/' + year;
    }

    console.log(formatDate(new Date()));

You can use getDate(), getMonth() and getFullYear(). Add 1 to month as Javascript return months as 0 for January, 1 for February, etc.

var date = new Date();

var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var year = date.getFullYear();

console.log('Day:' + day);
console.log('Month:' + month);
console.log('Year:' + year);

if(day < 10){
    day='0'+day;
} 
if(month<10){
    month='0'+month;
} 
var today = month+'/'+day+'/'+year;
console.log('Date:' + today);

You should not answer questions that are obvious duplicates, particularly where the OP has not made any attempt to write their own code. This question has been asked many, many times before.
