`var [day, month, year] = "23.10.2017".split(".");(new Date(year, month, day)).toUTCString()` — Keith, Oct 27 '17 at 12:50

I don't think using Date() is the solution. You can do

var crDate = '23.10.2017';
var newDateF = crDate.split(".");
var temp = newDateF[0];
newDateF[0] = newDateF[1];
newDateF[1] = temp;
newDateF.join("/");

This splits the string into an array, swaps the first and second elements, and then joins back on a slash.

A regex replacement will do the trick without any Date functions.

var date = '23.10.2017';
var regex = /([0-9]{2})\.([0-9]{2})\.([0-9]{4})/;
console.log(date.replace(regex,'$2/$1/$3'));

Just use moment.js if you can :

// convert a date from/to specific format
moment("23.10.2017", "DD.MM.YYYY").format('MM/DD/YYYY')

// get the current date in a specific format
moment().format('MM/DD/YYYY')

Moment is a very usefull and powerfull date/time library for Javascript.
