Hi,
You can know the browser culture of client machine. From culture you can know the datetime format.
Specify your requirement so I can help you further..

If you are usin jQuery then try the following code it will give you system date.

<span id="clientSyatemDate">This is current local Date Time in JQuery></span>
<button type="button" onclick="ClientSystemDate()">GetDate</button>

Script Code:

XML

<script>
       function ClientSystemDate() {
           var todaydate = new Date();
           var localdate = (todaydate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + todaydate.getDate()  + '/' + todaydate.getFullYear();
           alert($('#clientSyatemDate').text(localdate));
       }
   </script>

function ClientSystemDate() {
//var todaydate = new Date();
//var localdate = (todaydate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + todaydate.getDate() + '/' + todaydate.getFullYear();
//alert($('#clientSyatemDate').text(localdate));

var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
curr_date = "dd";
curr_month = "mm";
curr_year = "yyyy";

alert(curr_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year);

}

the above code will return date format like dd/mm/yyyy...Still I am looking for appropriate way to achieve the same. For time being you can use..modify accordingly if required
