How to change the format of full date

Question

Actually I made a function in which picks up the current date. Now i want to pickup the date after 6 months of my current date

 var today = new Date();
            var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
            var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
            var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
            today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ; //Here I am getting current date now i want to get the date exact after 6 months in the same format like this
 var CurrentDate = new Date();
var month=CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 6);//here I am getting date after 6 months but it is in different format like complete date, I want date after after 6 months like above format

var today = new Date();
            var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
            var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
            var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
            today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy;
            var date=today;
            var x = 6; //or whatever offset
            var CurrentDate = new Date();
            //alert(CurrentDate);
            CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + x);
            var d = String(CurrentDate.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
            var m = String(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
            var yy = CurrentDate.getFullYear();
            CurrentDate = m + '/' + d + '/' + yy;
            var months=CurrentDate;

Just pass new generated timestamp in new Date() and it will give you new date

Like var today_after_month = new Date(timestamp);

var today = new Date();
            var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
            var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
            var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
            var today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ; //Here i m getting current date now i want to get the date exact after 6 months in the same format like this
 console.log('today', today);
 var CurrentDate = new Date();
var month=CurrentDate.setMonth(CurrentDate.getMonth() + 6);//here i m getting date after 6 months but it is different format like complete date i want date after after 6 months like above format

var today_after_month = new Date(month);
 var dd = String(today_after_month.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
            var mm = String(today_after_month.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
            var yyyy = today_after_month.getFullYear();
            var today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy ;
            
 console.log('month', today);
