you can use this.

function dateTest(){
  var d =new Date();
 var month_name=new Array(12);
 month_name[0]="Jan"
 month_name[1]="Feb"
 month_name[2]="Mar"
 month_name[3]="Apr"
 month_name[4]="May"
 month_name[5]="Jun"
 month_name[6]="Jul"
 month_name[7]="Aug"
 month_name[8]="Sep"
 month_name[9]="Oct"
 month_name[10]="Nov"     
 month_name[11]="Dec"
 alert(month_name[d.getMonth()]+" "+d.getDate()+" , "+d.getFullYear());
 }
