you can format date just making this type of the code.In javascript.

              var inputdate=document.getElementById("getdate").value);
                 var datecomp= inputdate.split('.');

                Var Date= new Date(datecomp[2], datecomp[1]-1, datecomp[0]); 
                 //new date( Year,Month,Date)
