How can I create a formatted date field in javascript

Question

In Javascript I want to be able to create a string for a date. I would like to use the format

dd-MMM-yyyy

I would like the dd part to change between 1 and 29 every time I create the variable (I'm using a loop)
the MMM is set to Jan
the yyyy to 1999

Can someone help by giving me advice on how I can do this?

Have you tried anything yet? If so, can you post your "broken code"? — El Guapo, Jul 01 '14 at 17:04

var formatted_date = Math.floor(Math.random() * 29) + 1 + '-Jan-1999';
  console.log(formatted_date);
