To get current date you may use the following line in your js file:

var currentDate = moment().format("DD-MM-YYYY");

It will show the date of the given format 19-Mar-2015

Date.now() is the simplest. Otherwise the following using simple javascript can be used:-

new Date().getTime()

Using moment.js 

moment().valueOf()

can be used.

moment("...").valueOf()

can be used to get the time elapsed since a particular date.

Use the valueOf method on a moment object:

For local time:

moment().valueOf();

For UTC:

moment().utc().valueOf();
