Method 1

This link is a good resource you can use for.

Alternatively, you need to get the individual part and concatenate them as needed like below.

var now = new Date();
var hour        = now.getHours();
var minute      = now.getMinutes();
var second      = now.getSeconds();
var monthnumber = now.getMonth();
var monthday    = now.getDate();
var year        = now.getYear();

String myOutput = monthday + "-" + monthnumer + "-" + year;

To get the month name instead of month number, you need to define an array like below

var arrMonths = new Array ("Jan","Feb"....};

   String myOutput = monthday + "-" + arrMonths[monthnumer-1] + "-" + year;
