You can get current date by using this code:

var t:Date = new Date();
trace(t.date);
// Get current year:
trace(t.fullYear);
//Get current month and Day...
trace(t.month+1);
trace(t.day+1);
// NOTE: the month and day will be numeric number January=0, February=1 ..... December=11 And Sunday=0, Monday=1....Saturday=7

Please let me know this code is working or not.

Thanks,

With the format var currentDate:Date = new Date();, is there a way for it to display only day, date, year, and time, without the GMT-0500 or whatever? That info isnt needed, and is more of an eyesore than a help. Thx!

Use the DateFormatter (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/formatters/DateFormatter.html) class.
