Try this code.

<script>
    $(function() {
        $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'
        }).val(getTodaysDate(0)); // For current date

        $( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
            }).val(getTodaysDate(1));  // For previous month's date
    });

  function getTodaysDate (val) {
    var t = new Date, day, month, year = t.getFullYear();
    if (t.getDate() < 10) {
        day = "0" + t.getDate();
    }
    else {
        day = t.getDate();
    }
    if ((t.getMonth() + 1) < 10) {
        month = "0" + (t.getMonth() + 1 - val);
    }
    else {
        month = t.getMonth() + 1 - val;
    }

    return (day + '/' + month + '/' + year);
   }
</script>
