Both are correct. You could also use the parameterized constructors.

E.G:- var d = new Date(1993, 6, 28, 14, 39, 7);

    console.log(d.toString());     // prints Wed Jul 28 1993 14:39:07 GMT-0600 (PDT)
    console.log(d.toDateString()); // prints Wed Jul 28 1993

Both are correct, just a matter of taste.

But usually it is preferred to use braces even though you don't pass any parameters, because these two snippets do not have the same evaluation:

Incorrect one

new Date.valueOf(); // to work it should be (new Date).valueOf()

Correct one

new Date().valueOf();

Both are correct. Parentheses are optional when the new operator is used and there are no arguments.
