Hi @Shraddha desai 

It is not best practice to use server side calls using client script, so I have done it through glide ajax. 

Use the below code, Tested and Working fine.

Client Script

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');
    ga.getXML(SettingDate);

    function SettingDate(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        g_form.setValue('give_fieldname_here', answer);   
    }
}

Script Include

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create();
MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    nowDateTime: function() {
        return gs.nowDateTime();
    }
});

I hope it helps, if so please mark it as both helpful and correct.

@Shraddha Desai have you gone through my suggestion?

if you want only date then just replace the below line in the script include in the above code.

  return gs.now();

I hope it helps, if so please mark it as both helpful and correct.
