Convert the date format 12/12/2013 into 2013-12-12

I'm using this Jquery plugin to get the date into a textbox. The default format given by this code is 12/12/2013. But I need to convert the format into 2013-12-12 since the database date figures I have already saved are in this format. So I need to compare 12/12/2013 with 2013-12-12. Since they are in different formats I can't compare them. So how can I convert the format 12/12/2013 into 2013-12-12.

    $(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
    });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
</body>
</html>

Try this :

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
    dateFormat:'yy-mm-dd'   
});

You can find working demo here. For more info read this doc
