Try below code.

C#

DateTime currentDate = System.DateTime.Now;
StringBuilder previousThreeDates = new StringBuilder();
DateTime previousDate;

for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
 previousDate = currentDate.AddDays(-i);
 previousThreeDates.Append(previousDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"));
 if (i < 3)
  previousThreeDates.Append(",");
}

Response.Write(previousThreeDates.ToString());
