Solution 1

try

var dt = new Date();
  var mm = dt.getMonth() + 1;
  var dd = dt.getDate();
  var yyyy = dt.getFullYear();
  var format = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy
  document.write(format);

Worth pointing out that this won't work in IE10 or earlier. Support for the locales property was added in IE11.
