Answer 1

Here's the snippet I found working

date="21/01/2015";
var newdate = date.split("/").reverse().join("-");
console.log(newdate)

Answer 2

Try this

var date= '21/01/2015';
var d=new Date(date.split("/").reverse().join("-"));
var dd=d.getDate();
var mm=d.getMonth()+1;
var yy=d.getFullYear();
var newdate=yy+"/"+mm+"/"+dd;
