Hope this will work! jQuery UI | Date Picker $(document).ready(function() { $(function() { $( "#my_date_picker" ).datepicker({ defaultDate:"09/22/2019" }); }); })

@pankaj Patel- Your solution will set the date on input field too. But I want to show date only on calendar of datepicker not in the input field.

You can try this one, $(function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm/yyyy" }); }); https://www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2015/05/jquery-ui-datepicker-change-date-format-yyyy-mm-dd-mm-yy.html

If you are using the js library, expose the wrapper method and pass the addonmonth as input from your application to the js library. otherwise, when the date picker is clicked, follow the code below $( ".bhj" ) .datepicker({dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd"}).datepicker("setDate",new Date(next month date)); reference : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44215862/how-make-default-current-date-in-selectable-in-jquery-date-picker
