    Hi Sandy,

    As you append your fileds so you need to add toString() function.

    var currentDate = new Date();
var date = currentDate.getDate().toString();
var month= (currentDate.getMonth() +1).toString();
var year = currentDate.getFullYear().toString();
var h = currentDate.getHours().toString();
var m = currentDate.getMinutes().toString();
var s = currentDate.getSeconds().toString();

    and as you just want to set current date and time in you datetime filed you can use a this one line code
    var currentDate = new Date();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_birthday").setValue(currentDate);

    Thanks

    This will automatically set AM and PM. No need to create a string with date time format.Please refer this:

    If you are going to have to use a lot of date manipulation I'd recommend using http://momentjs.com/

    You can then turn it into a two line solution, I haven't used it in CRM but can't see why it wouldn't work. (once you have deployed the js to the form).
