how to get current day of todays date in batch file

If my system date is 25/09/2019 and time is 08.12 then i want output from batch file as 250920190812

But this code gives me 01 as output if i want to get day of todays date which is 25

echo Current day %date:~7,2%

What is wrong?

System Locale differs on each system, so rather use something more robust that will give consistant results on each device, for instance here is an example that also incorporates vbs.

@echo off
echo >"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" s=DateAdd("d",0,now) : d=weekday(s)
echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" WScript.Echo year(s)^& right(100+month(s),2)^& right(100+day(s),2)
for /f %%a in ('cscript /nologo "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"') do set "mydate=%%a"
set dd=%mydate:~6,2%
set mm=%mydate:~4,2%
set yyyy=%mydate:~0,4%
set mytime=%time::=%
set mytime=%mytime: =0%
echo %dd%%mm%%yyyy%%mytime:~0,4%
del "%temp%\%~n0.vbs" /Q
