I am working on a sharepoint 2013 on-premises team site. now i want to set a column which is of type date/time to be equal to today date,so i added a script inside the Edit form, then i tried to set the date value using SPUtiltiy, as follow:-

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

if(dd<10) {
    dd = '0'+dd
} 

if(mm<10) {
    mm = '0'+mm
} 

today = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy;
alert(today);
SPUtility.GetSPFieldByInternalName('OrderDateCustomerApproved_').SetValue(today);

but i got this error:-

Unable to set date, invalid arguments (requires year, month, and day as integers).

throw "Unable to set date, invalid arguments (requires year, month, and day as integers).";

so i tried to do so using pure JavaScript appraoch as follow:-

$('select[id^="OrderDateCustomerApproved_"]').val(today);

where this did not raise any error, but the fiel was not populated with today date!!

so can anyone adivce on this please?
