We could solve this propose with momentJS + set defaultDate option JQ UI DatePicker

//Set default timezone for all new momentJS instances 
moment.tz.setDefault('America/Toronto');

//Today date and time in America/Toronto timezone correction
var setDate = moment(); 

//Set defaultDate in proper date format for datepicker

 $(element).datepicker(
 {
     defaultDate:setDate.format('MM/DD/YYYY')
 }

Remember: Don't call toDate() method, use format() for getting proper date and time result in given timezone.
