This is my standard date and time script I use when generating reports with beginning and end dates.


set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set number_of_days to 5
set current_date_of_report to current date
month of (current_date_of_report)
set currentmonth to result as number
if currentmonth < "10" then
set currentmonth to "0" & currentmonth as string
end if
day of (current_date_of_report)
set currentday to result
if currentday < "10" then
set currentday to "0" & currentday as string
end if
year of (current_date_of_report)
set currentyear to result
set currentdate to currentmonth & "-" & currentday & "-" & currentyear as string
set current_time to time of (current_date_of_report) as string
set run_time to currentdate & "_" & current_time
log "run_time = " & run_time

month of (current_date_of_report)
set current_month to result as number
if current_month < "10" then
set current_month to "0" & current_month as string
end if
day of (current_date_of_report)
set current_day to result
if current_day < "10" then
set current_day to "0" & current_day as string
end if
year of (current_date_of_report)
set current_year to result
set the_date_to_end_the_report to current_month & "/" & current_day & "/" & current_year as string
log "the_date_to_end_the_report = " & the_date_to_end_the_report

set previous_date to ((current_date_of_report) - (number_of_days * days))
month of (previous_date)
set previous_month to result as number
if previous_month < "10" then
set previous_month to "0" & previous_month as string
end if
day of (previous_date)
set previous_day to result
if previous_day < "10" then
set previous_day to "0" & previous_day as string
end if
year of (previous_date)
set previous_year to result
set the_date_to_begin_the_report to previous_month & "/" & previous_day & "/" & previous_year as string
log "the_date_to_begin_the_report = " & the_date_to_begin_the_report
