Use a Javascript,
Cuz this runs in the client browser.
Check out this code..

(Toggle Plain Text)

var Days = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday',
	'Thursday','Friday','Saturday');

var today = new Date();
var Year = takeYear(today);
var Month = leadingZero(today.getMonth()+1);
var DayName = Days[today.getDay()];
var Day = leadingZero(today.getDate());
var Hours = leadingZero(today.getHours());
var Minutes = leadingZero(today.getMinutes());
var Seconds = leadingZero(today.getSeconds());

function takeYear(theDate)
{
	x = theDate.getYear();
	var y = x % 100;
	y += (y < 38) ? 2000 : 1900;
	return y;
}

function leadingZero(nr)
{
	if (nr < 10) nr = "0" + nr;
	return nr;
}

I got it from this URL

Your code is working on the server side ,so thats the reason Y you are getting date on the server.

For you code to work on the client side,You gotta code that in Javascript that runs in the client browser.
