   {
       field: document.getElementById('datepickerFrom'),
       firstDay: 1,
       format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
       minDate: new Date('1900-01-01'),
       maxDate: new Date('2040-12-31'),

I have solved it, placing moment.js before Pikaday.js file and giving format in upper case format: 'MM/DD/YYYY' problem is solved.

Try using this by replacing the double quotation by single quotation:

C#

var datepickerFrom = new Pikaday(
    {
        field: document.getElementById('datepickerFrom'),
        firstDay: 1,
        format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
        minDate: new Date('1900-01-01'),
        maxDate: new Date('2040-12-31'),
        yearRange: [1900, 2040]
    });
