Use FormatDate
$.datepicker.formatDate('yyyy-mm-dd', new Date(date - i*86400000));

Reference Jquery UI:

This will do the trick.

var date = new Date();
var d = new Date(date - i*86400000);
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
var date_format = curr_year + "-" + curr_month + "-" + curr_date;
