Yet another combination of the answers  Nicely readable  but a little lengthy   function getCurrentDayTimestamp       const d   new Date       return new Date      Date UTC        d getFullYear          d getMonth          d getDate          d getHours          d getMinutes          d getSeconds               toIsoString  returns something like  2017-08-22T08 32 32 847Z       and we want the first part   2017-08-22       toISOString   slice 0  10

If the date needs to be the same across all time zones  for example represents some value from the database  then be sure to use UTC versions of the day  month  fullyear functions on the JavaScript date object as this will display in UTC time and avoid off-by-one errors in certain time zones   Even better  use the Moment js date library for this sort of formatting

toISOString   assumes your date is local time and converts it to UTC  You will get an incorrect date string   The following method should return what you need   Date prototype yyyymmdd   function                   var yyyy   this getFullYear   toString                                            var mm    this getMonth   1  toString       getMonth   is zero-based              var dd    this getDate   toString                      return yyyy    -     mm 1  mm  0  mm 0      -     dd 1  dd  0  dd 0         Source  https   blog justin kelly org au simple-javascript-function-to-format-the-date-as-yyyy-mm-dd

2020 ANSWER You can use the native  toLocaleDateString   function which supports several useful params like locale  to select a format like MM DD YYYY or YYYY MM DD   timezone  to convert the date  and formats details options  eg  1 vs 01 vs January   Examples new Date   toLocaleDateString      8 19 2020  new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-US    year   numeric   month   2-digit   day   2-digit        08 19 2020  month and day with two digits   new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-ZA       2020 08 19  year month day  notice the different locale  new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-CA       2020-08-19  year-month-day  notice the different locale  new Date   toLocaleString  quot en-US quot    timeZone   quot America New York quot        8 19 2020  9 29 51 AM   date and time in a specific timezone   new Date   toLocaleString  quot en-US quot    hour   2-digit   hour12  false  timeZone   quot America New York quot         09  just the hour   Notice that sometimes to output a date in your specific desire format  you have to find a compatible locale with that format  You can find the locale examples here  https   www w3schools com jsref tryit asp filename tryjsref tolocalestring date all Please notice that locale just change the format  if you want to transform a specific date to a specific country or city time equivalent then you need to use the timezone param

Just leverage the built-in toISOString method that brings your date to the ISO 8601 format  yourDate toISOString   split  T   0   Where yourDate is your date object  Edit   exbuddha wrote this to handle time zone in the comments  const offset   yourDate getTimezoneOffset   yourDate   new Date yourDate getTime   -  offset 60 1000   return yourDate toISOString   split  T   0

When ES2018 rolls around  works in chrome  you can simply regex it  new Date         toISOString        replace               lt year gt  d  -   lt month gt  d  -   lt day gt  d  T                 lt year gt -  lt month gt -  lt day gt          2020-07-14 Or if you d like something pretty versatile with no libraries whatsoever  new Date         toISOString        match               lt yyyy gt  d d   lt yy gt  d d  -   lt mm gt 0    lt m gt  d   -   lt dd gt 0    lt d gt  d   T   lt HH gt 0    lt H gt  d       lt MM gt 0    lt M gt  d       lt SSS gt    lt SS gt 0    lt S gt  d      d     lt timezone gt  A-Z   dA-Z -                  groups  Which results in extracting the following       H   quot 8 quot      HH   quot 08 quot      M   quot 45 quot      MM   quot 45 quot      S   quot 42 quot      SS   quot 42 quot      SSS   quot 42 855 quot      d   quot 14 quot      dd   quot 14 quot      m   quot 7 quot      mm   quot 07 quot      timezone   quot Z quot      yy   quot 20 quot      yyyy   quot 2020 quot     Which you can use like so with replace         lt d gt    lt m gt      lt yy gt      lt H gt    lt MM gt    as at the top instead of  match      groups to get 14 7  20   8 45

None of these answers quite satisfied me  I wanted a cross-platform solution that gave me the day in the local timezone without using any external libraries   This is what I came up with   function localDay time      var minutesOffset   time getTimezoneOffset     var millisecondsOffset   minutesOffset 60 1000   var local   new Date time - millisecondsOffset    return local toISOString   substr 0  10      That should return the day of the date  in YYYY-MM-DD format  in the timezone the date references   So for example  localDay new Date  2017-08-24T03 29 22 099Z    will return  2017-08-23  even though it s already the 24th at UTC   You ll need to polyfill Date prototype toISOString for it to work in Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 8  but it should be supported everywhere else
