How would I fix this function to change month depending on the date?

I'm trying to create a function that creates a dynamic date range based on the date supplied in a string.
What I've done so far:
Capture date in the string I'm looking to change;
Check to see if that date is a Thursday (if so the range will need to account for the weekend)
What I need to do:
Find a way to get the second date in the range to account for the weekend;
Find a way to make sure that the second date takes into account the last day of the month.
Apologies for old syntax, GTM doesn't like anything using ES6 so I'm a little constrained on this project.
Note I am using DD/MM/YYYY
var regex = /[\d\/\d\/\d]/g;
var text = document.querySelector('.shipmentLineTitle b');
var originalDate = text.innerText.match(regex, "");
if (originalDate.length > 10) {
originalDate.pop();
originalDate.join('');
}
var ogDateString = originalDate.join('');
var dayNumber = originalDate.splice(0, 2).join('');
var monthNumber = originalDate.splice(1, 2).join('');
var yearNumber = originalDate.splice(2, 4).join('');
// if originalDate is a thursday (5) dynamicString will need to be a Monday (1).
var date = new Date(yearNumber, monthNumber -1, dayNumber);
var dynamicDateString = "";
if (date.getDay == 5) {
var newDate = new Date(date) + (86400000 * 3);
var dd = newDate.getDate();
var mm = newDate.getMonth() +1;
var yy = newDate.getFullYear();
dymamicDateString = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yy;
} else {
var newDate = new Date(date) + 86400000;
var dd = newDate.getDate();
var mm = newDate.getMonth() +1;
var yy = newDate.getFullYear();
dynamicDateString = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yy;
}
var newContent = 'Delivery will be made between ' + ogDateString + ' - ' + dynamicDateString + '. An accurate delivery date will be provided after you place your order.';
text.innerText = newContent;
<span class="shipmentLineTitle">Delivery details: <b>your delivery will arrive on 09/10/2020 (1 delivery)</b></span>

Thursday is day 4
Here is a simpler script
var textField = document.querySelector('.shipmentLineTitle b'),
text = textField.innerText,
originalDate = text.match(/\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}/)[0].split("/"),
dayNumber = +originalDate[0],
monthNumber = +originalDate[1],
yearNumber = +originalDate[2],
date = new Date(yearNumber, monthNumber - 1, dayNumber, 15, 0, 0, 0),
aDay = 86400000,
newDate = new Date(date),
day = date.getDay(),
daysToAdd = 1; // Sunday to Wednesday
// if originalDate is a Thursday (4) or Saturday (6), dynamicString will need to be a Monday (1).
if (day === 4) daysToAdd = 4; // Thursday - delivery Monday
else if (day === 6) daysToAdd = 2; // Saturday
newDate.setDate(newDate.getDate() + daysToAdd);
var dd = newDate.getDate(),
mm = newDate.getMonth() + 1,
yy = newDate.getFullYear(),
dynamicDateString = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yy,
newContent = text + ' - ' + dynamicDateString + '</b>. An accurate delivery date will be provided after you place your order.';
textField.innerHTML = newContent;
<span class="shipmentLineTitle">Delivery details: <b>your delivery will arrive on 08/10/2020 (1 delivery)</b></span>

I would suggest to user moment.js a very good date library to manipulate dates. It has lot of function to add/substract dates, hours, days etc.
There is https://www.npmjs.com/package/moment-business-days which servers exactly what you need

How to change the format of full date

Actually I made a function in which picks up the current date. Now i want to pickup the date after 6 months of my current date
var today = new Date();
var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ; //Here I am getting current date now i want to get the date exact after 6 months in the same format like this
var CurrentDate = new Date();
var month=CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 6);//here I am getting date after 6 months but it is in different format like complete date, I want date after after 6 months like above format

var today = new Date();
var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy;
var date=today;
var x = 6; //or whatever offset
var CurrentDate = new Date();
//alert(CurrentDate);
CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + x);
var d = String(CurrentDate.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var m = String(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yy = CurrentDate.getFullYear();
CurrentDate = m + '/' + d + '/' + yy;
var months=CurrentDate;

Just pass new generated timestamp in new Date() and it will give you new date
Like var today_after_month = new Date(timestamp);
var today = new Date();
var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
var today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ; //Here i m getting current date now i want to get the date exact after 6 months in the same format like this
console.log('today', today);
var CurrentDate = new Date();
var month=CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 6);//here i m getting date after 6 months but it is different format like complete date i want date after after 6 months like above format
var today_after_month = new Date(month);
var dd = String(today_after_month.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today_after_month.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = today_after_month.getFullYear();
var today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ;
console.log('month', today);

Converting date format from mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd format after entered

In my datepicker the date will be inserted in mm/dd/yyyy format. But after I inserted I want it to be sent in yyyy-mm-dd format. I am using JavaScript to do this. But I wasn't able to do that. So what should I do?
Thanks & regards,
Chiranthaka

you could also use regular expressions:
var convertDate = function(usDate) {
var dateParts = usDate.split(/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{4})/);
return dateParts[3] + "-" + dateParts[1] + "-" + dateParts[2];
}
var inDate = "12/06/2013";
var outDate = convertDate(inDate); // 2013-12-06
The expression also works for single digit months and days.

I did the opposite for my website, but it might help you. I let you modify it in order to fit your requierements. Have fun !
getDate
getMonth
getFullYear
Have fun on W3Schools
var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
if(curr_month < 10)
curr_month = "0"+curr_month;
if(curr_date < 10)
curr_date = "0"+curr_date;
var curr_date_format = curr_date+"/"+curr_month+"/"+curr_year;

Adding more to Christof R's solution (thanks! used it!) to allow for MM-DD-YYYY (- in addition to /) and even MM DD YYYY. Slight change in the regex.
var convertDate = function(usDate) {
var dateParts = usDate.split(/(\d{1,2})[\/ -](\d{1,2})[\/ -](\d{4})/);
return dateParts[3] + "-" + dateParts[1] + "-" + dateParts[2];
}
var inDate = "12/06/2013";
var outDate = convertDate(inDate); // 2013-12-06
As Christof R says: This also works for single digit day and month as well.

// format from M/D/YYYY to YYYYMMDD
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
var yyyy = this.getFullYear();
var mm = this.getMonth() < 9 ? "0" + (this.getMonth() + 1) : (this.getMonth() + 1); // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = this.getDate() < 10 ? "0" + this.getDate() : this.getDate();
return "".concat(yyyy).concat(mm).concat(dd);
};
var siku = new Date();
document.getElementById("day").innerHTML = siku.yyyymmdd();

Show current date

I am using the following to get the current date:-
var dateObj = new Date();
var month = dateObj.getUTCMonth() + 1;
var day = dateObj.getUTCDate();
var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();
var newdate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
If I alert(newdate); it shows:-
3/06/2013
Is there any way I can display this as:-
03/06/2013

With plain Javascript, only manually
if (day < 10) day = "0" + day;
if (month < 10) month = "0" + month;

If you want to avoid using a library, and don't mind an extra line in your JavaScript:
var day = dateObj.getUTCDate(),
dd = parseInt(day, 10) < 10 ? '0' + day : day;

Using JQuery DateFormat:
$.format.date(dateObj.toString(), "dd/MM/yyyy");

var mydate=new Date();
alert(mydate.toString('dd/MM/yyyy'));

function padWithZeroes(number, width)
{
while (number.length < width)
number = '0' + number;
return number;
}
Now call day = padWithZeroes(day, 2) (and likewise for the month) before you use it.

You can split it and create your own format:
var splitTime = newDate.split("/");
var day = splitTime[0];
var month = splitTime[1];
var year = splitTime[2];
if (day < 10){
day = "0" + day;
}
var myDate = day + '/' + month + '/' + year;
Living demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/rtqpp/

Please use the following:
var dateObj = new Date();
var month = ('0' + (dateObj.getUTCMonth() + 1) ).slice( -2 );;
var day = ('0' + (dateObj.getUTCDate() + 1) ).slice( -2 );
var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();
var newdate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

Ajax get Date in dd/mm/yyyy format

var d = new Date();
var today_date = d.getDate() + '/' + month_name[d.getMonth()] + '/' + d.getFullYear();
This is how I am getting a date. It works with a slight problem. For todays date 7th of June 2011 it returns 7/11/2011, what i want it to return is 07/11/2011?
Anyone know how?

Well, you could simply check the length of d.getDate()and if it's 1 then you add a zero at the beginning. But you would like to take a look at format() to format your dates?

Like so:
("0"+1).slice(-2); // returns 01
("0"+10).slice(-2); // returns 10
Complete example:
var d = new Date(2011,1,1); // 1-Feb-2011
var today_date =
("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2) + "/" +
("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "/" +
d.getFullYear();
// 01/02/2011

Try this (http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/date-time-format):
var d = new Date();
d.format("dd/mm/yyyy");

Try this, this is more understandable.:
var currentTime = new Date();
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
if (day < 10){
day = "0" + day;
}
if (month < 10){
month = "0" + month;
}
var today_date = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
document.write(today_date.toString());
And result is :
07/05/2011
