Date format as MM/DD/YYYY using Intl.DateTimeFormat

Question

I want the Date format as MM/DD/YYYY and I am using Intl.DateTimeFormat

console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US').format(date));

output: "6/20/2012"

The output I need is "06/20/2012"

What change should I do to get the expected result?
