const n = date.toDateString();
// get the time as a string
const time = date.toLocaleTimeString();

In the above example, the new Date() constructor is used to create a date object. It gives the date and time according to the given arguments:
const date = new Date(2017, 2, 12, 9, 25, 30);
console.log(date); // Sun Mar 12 2017 09:25:30 GMT+0545 (+0545)
Note: The six numbers in new Date() specify year, month, day, hour, minute, second respectively. Also, the month starts from 0. Hence, January is 0 and December is 11.
The toDateString() method returns the date portion of a Date object.
The toLocaleTimeString() method returns the time portion of a Date object.
