Answer by user889209 for Detecting an "invalid date" Date instance in JavaScript

I think some of this is a long process. We can cut it short as shown below:

 function isValidDate(dateString) {
        debugger;
        var dateStringSplit;
        var formatDate;

        if (dateString.length >= 8 && dateString.length<=10) {
            try {
                dateStringSplit = dateString.split('/');
                var date = new Date();
                date.setYear(parseInt(dateStringSplit[2]), 10);
                date.setMonth(parseInt(dateStringSplit[0], 10) - 1);
                date.setDate(parseInt(dateStringSplit[1], 10));

                if (date.getYear() == parseInt(dateStringSplit[2],10) && date.getMonth()+1 == parseInt(dateStringSplit[0],10) && date.getDate() == parseInt(dateStringSplit[1],10)) {
                    return true;
                }
                else {
                    return false;
                }

            } catch (e) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
