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);
}

I was looking for an answer to this question, but above answers doesn't give a crip answer for converting date to dd/mm/yyyy using toLocaleDateString().

As per docs toLocaleDateString() converts a date to a string with a language sensitive representation of the date portion. This method accepts two parameters dateObj.toLocaleDateString( [locales][, options]) described below :

• locales: This parameter is an array of locale strings that contain one or more language or locale tags.Note that it is an optional parameter.If you want to use specific format of the language in your application then specify that language in the locales argument.Some parameters are:

  • en-US : US English uses month-day-year order i.e 07/17/2020
  • en-GB : British English uses day-month-year order i.e 17/07/2020
  • ko-KR : Korean uses year-month-day order i.e 2020. 07. 17.

• options: It is also an optional parameter and contains properties that specify comparison options.Some properties are localeMatcher, timeZone, weekday, year, month, day, hour, minute, second etc.

So using this here is how you can convert date to dd/mm/yyyy format:

let dateFormat=new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-GB', {
month: '2-digit',day: '2-digit',year: 'numeric'})
console.log(dateFormat)

for persian date (current date)

const p2e = s => s.replace(/[۰-۹]/g, d => '۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹'.indexOf(d))
const dateFormat = p2e(new Date().toLocaleDateString('fa-IR', { month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit', year: 'numeric' }))
console.log(dateFormat)
