Answer 1

date.toLocaleDateString('en-US') works great. Here's some more information on it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleDateString

Answer 2

var d = new Date("Wed Mar 25 2015 05:30:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)"); 
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.toLocaleDateString();
