Since it's always nice to have a few options, here's the little
snippet I typically use to grab dates for creating log files, etc.
date /t | gawk {print$2} | sed "s/\//_/g" > c:\tmp.txt
for -F %%s in (C:\tmp.txt) do set DATESTR=%%s
Those gawk and sed versions used were from
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/. If you haven't worked with sed
before, basically that statement is a global search and replace. If
you want something other than an underscore, just replace that section
of the statement.
Hope that helps!
