Answer 1

In Date() indexing of month is 0 based you whatever number you want to enter like december(12th month) will have value 11. So try putting (month-1) in new Date().

Like shown below:

let oDob = new Date(employeeToSave.dob['year'], employeeToSave.dob['month']-1,  employeeToSave.dob['day']);

Working snippet :

let month=12;
let year = 2019;
let day = 12;
dob = new Date(year,month,day);
console.log("wrong Date : "+dob);

dob2 = new Date(year,month-1,day);
console.log("correct Date : "+dob2);
