This shows the year you wanted to extract.

HTML:

<meta charset="utf-8">
    <div class="demo">
    <p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
    <button>Show year</button>
</div><!-- End demo -->

JS:

$(function() {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker({
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true
    });

    $("button").click(function() {
        var split = $("#datepicker").val().split('/');
        alert(split[2]);
    });
});​

The split method of String class divides the string and returns as an array.

EDIT: This does everything you wanted.
Take a look at the onSelect event.

$(function() {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker({
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        onSelect: function(dateText) { 
            var split = $("#datepicker").val().split('/');
            $("#Year").text(split[2]);
        }
    });
});​
