const event = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));

const options = {  year: 'numeric', month: 'short', day: 'numeric' };

console.log(event.toLocaleDateString('de-DE', options));
// expected output: Donnerstag, 20. Dezember 2012

console.log(event.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options));
// US format 


// In case you only want the month
console.log(event.toLocaleDateString(undefined, { month: 'short'}));
console.log(event.toLocaleDateString(undefined, { month: 'long'}));

const t = new Date();
const date = ('0' + t.getDate()).slice(-2);
const month = ('0' + (t.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
const year = t.getFullYear();
const hours = ('0' + t.getHours()).slice(-2);
const minutes = ('0' + t.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
const seconds = ('0' + t.getSeconds()).slice(-2);
const time = `${date}/${month}/${year}, ${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}`;

output: "27/04/2020, 12:03:03"

function formatDate(date) {
    var hours = date.getHours();
    var minutes = date.getMinutes();
    var ampm = hours >= 12 ? "PM" : "AM";
    hours = hours % 12;
    hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour "0" should be "12"
    minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
    var strTime = hours + ":" + minutes + " " + ampm;
    return date.getDate() + "/" + new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', { month: 'short' }).format(date) + "/" + date.getFullYear() + " " + strTime;
}

var d = new Date();
var e = formatDate(d);

const ye = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', { year: 'numeric' }).format(d)
const mo = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', { month: 'short' }).format(d)
const da = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', { day: '2-digit' }).format(d)

console.log(`${da}-${mo}-${ye}`)
