unless you are going to give me FTP access to your site and I write the page for you, it's difficult to be more simpler.

The actual code is in the page I linked to and clicking the links ([Toolbox] [Example]) at the top will tell you how to use it.

Code:

 
function F() {
  var d = new Date, dd = d.getDate(), 
  mm = d.getMonth() - 2, yy = d.getFullYear();
  return ('' + ((dd < 10) ? '0' + dd : dd) + '/' + 
    ((mm < 10) ? '0' + mm : mm) + '/' + yy); 
}
alert(F());
