My recommendation would be to parse the display value of the object. You should be able to do this with a clever split() method.

If that's not an option, use a GlideAjax operation to send the date time to the server, parse it there, convert it to a date object and send it back.

something like this. WARNING: Untested code!

var dateTimeStr = g_form.getValue('u_date_time');

var dateArr = dateTimeStr.split(' ');

var date = dateArr[0];

but it split[0] only gives only 0th indexed element in split array

eg :- if it is 19-02-2019

it replies only 1

how can we get entire date field

The script he provided did a split on space, so it gives you the entire date, not just the first digit.
