Date   is not part of jQuery  it is one of JavaScript s features   See the documentation on Date object   You can do it like that   var d   new Date     var month   d getMonth   1  var day   d getDate     var output   d getFullYear                month lt 10    0          month              day lt 10    0          day    See this jsfiddle for a proof   The code may look like a complex one  because it must deal with months  amp  days being represented by numbers less than 10  meaning the strings will have one char instead of two   See this jsfiddle for comparison

FYI - getDay   will give you the day of the week    ie  if today is Thursday  it will return the number 4  being the 4th day of the week    To get a proper day of the month  use getDate     My example below     also a string padding function to give a leading 0 on single time elements   eg  10 4 34    10 04 35   function strpad00 s        s   s           if  s length     1  s    0  s      return s     var currentdate   new Date    var datetime   currentdate getDate                strpad00  currentdate getMonth   1                currentdate getFullYear                       currentdate getHours                strpad00 currentdate getMinutes                 strpad00 currentdate getSeconds       Example output  31 12 2013   10 07 49If using getDay    the output would be 4 12 2013   10 07 49
