So I'm using http://amsul.ca/pickadate.js/ and I can't seem to figure out how to set a specific date into the date picker.
(Date picker for pickadate.js v3.5.6, http://amsul.github.io/pickadate.js/date.htm).

For example if I say:

var today = '01-01-1983';

picker.val(today);

This will change the text inside the input, but when you open the picker the date has not been set to 1983.

So how do you use js/jquery to update the date in the date picker?

  //try this  

 var date = new Date(1983, 1, 1);

    var picker = $('#date_picker').pickadate('picker');

    picker.set('select', date);
