Here is the answer, i found this from here my js-fiddle is here

var d = new Date();

var curr_date = d.getDate();

var curr_month = d.getMonth();/* Returns the month (from 0-11) */

var curr_month_plus= curr_month+1; /* because if the month is  4 it will show output 3 so we have to add +1 with month*/ 

var curr_year = d.getFullYear();

function dstrToUTC(ds) {

    var dsarr = ds.split(/);

     var mm = parseInt(dsarr[0],10);

     var dd = parseInt(dsarr[1],10);

     var yy = parseInt(dsarr[2],10);

     return Date.UTC(yy,mm-1,dd,0,0,0); }

    function datediff(ds1,ds2) {

     var d1 = dstrToUTC(ds1);

     var d2 = dstrToUTC(ds2);

     var oneday = 86400000;

     return (d2-d1) / oneday;    }

    var a =curr_month_plus+ '/' + curr_date + '/' + curr_year;

    var b;   

    b = 5/26/2012;

    document.write(+datediff(a,b)+ day(s)<br>);
