设置日期格式以返回“2012-12-29”的正确方法是使用JavaScript日期格式中的脚本：

var d1 = new Date();
return d1.format("dd-m-yy");

此代码不起作用：

var d1 = new Date();
d1.toString('yyyy-MM-dd');      

无框架，有限但重量轻

var d = (new Date()+'').split(' ');
// ["Tue", "Sep", "03", "2013", "21:54:52", "GMT-0500", "(Central", "Daylight", "Time)"]

[d[3], d[1], d[2], d[4]].join(' ');
// "2013 Sep 03 21:58:03"

如果您不需要Moment.js这样的库提供的所有功能，那么可以使用我的strftime端口。它是轻量级的（与Moment.js 2.15.0相比，减少了1.35 KB和57.9 KB），并提供了strftime（）的大部分功能。

示例用法：

strftime('%F'); // Returns "2016-09-15"
strftime('%A, %B %e, %Y'); // Returns "Thursday, September 15, 2016"

// You can optionally pass it a Date object...

strftime('%x %X', new Date('1/1/2016')); // Returns "1/1/2016 12:00:00 AM"

此处提供最新代码：https://github.com/thdoan/strftime

d=日期.now（）；d=新日期（d）；d=（d.getMonth（）+1）+'/'+d.getDate（）+'/'+d.getFullYear（）+''+（d.getHours（）>12？d.getHours（）-12:d.getHoures（））+'：'+d.getMinutes（）+''+（d.getHouers（）>=12？“下午”：“上午”）；console.log（d）；

您可以使用meiz所指出的新格式方法来扩展Date对象，下面是作者给出的代码。和这是一把小提琴。

Date.prototype.format = function(format) //author: meizz
{
  var o = {
    "M+" : this.getMonth()+1, //month
    "d+" : this.getDate(),    //day
    "h+" : this.getHours(),   //hour
    "m+" : this.getMinutes(), //minute
    "s+" : this.getSeconds(), //second
    "q+" : Math.floor((this.getMonth()+3)/3),  //quarter
    "S" : this.getMilliseconds() //millisecond
  }

  if(/(y+)/.test(format)) format=format.replace(RegExp.$1,
    (this.getFullYear()+"").substr(4 - RegExp.$1.length));
  for(var k in o)if(new RegExp("("+ k +")").test(format))
    format = format.replace(RegExp.$1,
      RegExp.$1.length==1 ? o[k] :
        ("00"+ o[k]).substr((""+ o[k]).length));
  return format;
}

alert(new Date().format("yyyy-MM-dd"));
alert(new Date("january 12 2008 11:12:30").format("yyyy-MM-dd h:mm:ss"));

在浏览了其他答案中提供的几个选项后，我决定编写自己的有限但简单的解决方案，其他人可能也会觉得有用。

/**
* Format date as a string
* @param date - a date object (usually "new Date();")
* @param format - a string format, eg. "DD-MM-YYYY"
*/
function dateFormat(date, format) {
    // Calculate date parts and replace instances in format string accordingly
    format = format.replace("DD", (date.getDate() < 10 ? '0' : '') + date.getDate()); // Pad with '0' if needed
    format = format.replace("MM", (date.getMonth() < 9 ? '0' : '') + (date.getMonth() + 1)); // Months are zero-based
    format = format.replace("YYYY", date.getFullYear());
    return format;
}

示例用法：

console.log("The date is: " + dateFormat(new Date(), "DD/MM/YYYY"));
