                          {
                   var value = document.getElementById('pay_date').value;
                           var today = new Date(value);
                           if((today.getMonth() + 1)<10)
                           {
                             mm='0'+(today.getMonth() + 1)
                           }
                           else
                           {
                             mm=(today.getMonth() + 1)
                           }
                           if(today.getDate()<10)
                           {
                             dd='0'+today.getDate()
                           }
                           else
                           {
                             dd=today.getDate()
                           }
                           var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
                       document.getElementById('date').value=dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy;
                          }
                        else
                         {
                      myDate = new Date(document.getElementById('pay_date').value);
                          var day = myDate.getDate();
                          var month = myDate.getMonth() + 1;
                          var yr = myDate.getFullYear();
                      document.getElementById('pay_date').value=month+"/"+day+ "/" +yr;
                         }

According to above,if the dateformat is dd/mm/yyyy(set before)then if i enter in the textfield in the mm/dd/yyyy format,then it should change..hope its clear..
The above code works when I type date as 12/03/2011 it changes to 03/12/2011.
but if I write 13/12/2011,it shows NAN/NAN/NAN..What is wrong?

My suggestion is don't let the user type into text box.
make it readonly. You will get lots of plugin in google search. Use one of them

C#

DateTime dtm = new DateTime(2014, 05, 15);
String val = dtm.ToString("dd-mm-yyyy");//Result :15-05-2014
String val = dtm.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy");//Result :15/05/2014
String val = dtm.ToString("dd*mm*yyyy");//Result :15*05*2014
String val = dtm.ToString("mm-dd-yyyy");//Result :05-15-2014
String val = dtm.ToString("dd-yyyy-mm");//Result :15-2014-05
String val = dtm.ToString("yyyy!dd!mm");//Result :2014!15!05

C#

function Dateformat(date) {


var d = new Date(parseInt(date.substr(6)));
var m, day;
m = d.getMonth() + 1;
if (m < 10)
m = '0' + m
if (d.getDate() < 10)
day = '0' + d.getDate()
else
day = d.getDate();
var formattedDate = m + "/" + day + "/" + d.getFullYear();
var hours = (d.getHours() < 10) ? "0" + d.getHours() : d.getHours();
var minutes = (d.getMinutes() < 10) ? "0" + d.getMinutes() : d.getMinutes();
var formattedTime = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + d.getSeconds();
formattedDate = formattedDate + " " + formattedTime;
return formattedDate;
}
