You can also write a date inside the parentheses of the Date   object  like these   new Date  Month dd  yyyy hh mm ss   new Date  Month dd  yyyy   new Date yyyy mm dd hh mm ss  new Date yyyy mm dd  new Date milliseconds

The accepted answer kinda has a bug  var from       datepicker   val   split  -   var f   new Date from 2   from 1  - 1  from 0     Consider if the datepicker contains  77-78-7980  which is obviously not a valid date  This would result in   var f   new Date 7980  77  77     gt  Date 7986-08-15T22 00 00 000Z   Which is probably not the desired result    The reason for this is explained on the MDN site      Where Date is called as a constructor with more than one argument  if values are greater than their logical range  e g  13 is provided as the month value or 70 for the minute value   the adjacent value will be adjusted  E g  new Date 2013  13  1  is equivalent to new Date 2014  1  1       A better way to solve the problem is   const stringToDate   function dateString      const  dd  mm  yyyy    dateString split  -      return new Date    yyyy -  mm -  dd         console log stringToDate  04-04-2019        Date 2019-04-04T00 00 00 000Z  console log stringToDate  77-78-7980        Invalid Date   This gives you the possibility to handle invalid input   For example   const date   stringToDate  77-78-7980     if  date      Invalid Date     isNaN date       console log  It s all gone bad      else        Do something with your valid date here

You could use a Regexp   var result       d 2  -  d 2  -  d 4     exec     datepicker   val     if  result        from   new Date          parseInt result 3   10            parseInt result 2   10  - 1           parseInt result 1   10

Split on  -   Parse the string into the parts you need   var from       datepicker   val   split  -   var f   new Date from 2   from 1  - 1  from 0     Use regex  var date   new Date  15-05-2018  replace     d 2  -  d 2  -  d 4       2  1  3      Why not use regex   Because you know you ll be working on a string made up of three parts  separated by hyphens   However  if you were looking for that same string within another string  regex would be the way to go   Reuse  Because you re doing this more than once in your sample code  and maybe elsewhere in your code base  wrap it up in a function   function toDate dateStr      var parts   dateStr split  -     return new Date parts 2   parts 1  - 1  parts 0       Using as   var from       datepicker   val   var to       datepickertwo   val   var f   toDate from  var t   toDate to    Or if you don t mind jQuery in your function   function toDate selector      var from     selector  val   split  -     return new Date from 2   from 1  - 1  from 0       Using as   var f   toDate   datepicker   var t   toDate   datepickertwo     Modern JavaScript  If you re able to use more modern JS  array destructuring is a nice touch also   const toDate    dateStr    gt      const  day  month  year    dateStr split  -     return new Date year  month - 1  day
