You can get current date in JavaScript:

var now = new Date();

If you are using jQuery DatePicker you can apply it on any textfield like this:

$('input.youTextFieldClass').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy', 
                                     changeMonth: true,
                                     changeYear: true,
                                     yearRange: '-70:+10',
                                     constrainInput: false,
                                     duration: '',
                                     gotoCurrent: true});

If you want to set current date in textfields as page load:

$("input.youTextFieldClass").datepicker('setDate', new Date());

You can find the sample here.

<input type="text" id="datepicker">
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({dateFormat:"dd M yy"}).datepicker("setDate",new Date());
