1. [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date), 2. Adjust the parameters of `new Date(from[2], (from[1]-1), from[0])` to fit your new pattern — Andreas, Jul 21 '15 at 05:33

You only have to interchange the parameters in the date creation.
Instead of

var fromdate = new Date(from[2], (from[1]-1), from[0]);

use

var fromdate = new Date(from[2], (from[0]-1), from[1]);
