jquery - how do I get a js/jq object to print into google console? code included

Question

I'm attempting to write some jquery from the first time and I'm using the validatation plugin.

as you can see in my code, i just want to print out the value of the Date object.

$.validator.addMethod(
        "testDate",
        function(value, element)
        {
            var currentDate = new Date();
            var dateObj = new Date(value);
            if(element == "dob")
            {
                if(dateObj > currentDate)
                {
                    console.log(currentDate);
                    console.log(dateObj);
                    return false;
                }
            }
            else if(element == "scheduledExamDate")
            {
                if((dateObj.getFullYear() > currentDate.getFullYear()+1)||(dateObj.getTime() < currentDate.getTime()))
                {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        });

Use Date.toString() (like: console.log(currentDate.toString()))
