Answer 1

You can use Momentjs

var moment = require('alloy/moment');

set.addEventListener('click',function(e){
 textfield.setValue( moment(picker.value).format("DD-MM-YYYY") )
});

Alternately, you can use var date = new Date(picker.value); and then use the native Javascript date functions.

Answer 3

try this one :

set.addEventListener('click',function(e){
  var selectedDate = new Date(e.value);
  textfield.setValue(selectedDate.getDate() +"-"+ selectedDate.getMonth() +"-"+ selectedDate.getFullYear());
});
