Future Date Script in Acrobat, 6 months after current date

Question

Hey guys I have been working on this for hours and I am not sure why I cannot figure this out.  I am looking to have 1 field box in the form auto populate the current date and another field box to auto populate a date 6 months from the current date.  My current date code is attached, I have been playing around with so many variations that I do not want to confuse anyone with my other ugly code fragments.
var bFirstTime=1;
var f=this.getField("todaysDate");
if (bFirstTime=1) {
f.value=util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",new Date());
bFirstTime=0;
//app.bFirstTime);

Have you tried a document level funtction that runs when the PDF is opened. The following script fills in today's date if the field has not been field in and computes the date in 5 months using the parts of the date and the value of today's date.
// one time use document level function
( function () {
// update fields only if balnk
if(this.getField('todaysDate').defaultValue == '') {
// get current date time object
var oNow = new Date();
// get some date parts
var fYear = oNow.getFullYear(); // 4 digit year
var fMonth = oNow.getMonth(); // get zero based month
var fDate = oNow.getDate(); // get date of month
var sFormat = '%,302.0f/%,302.0f/%,304.0f';
// fill in field
this.getField('todaysDate').value = util.printf(sFormat, (fMonth + 1), fDate, fYear);
// make permanent
this.getField('todaysDate').defaultValue = this.getField('todaysDate').value;
// compute date 6 months from today
fMonth += 6;
var oNew = new Date(fYear, fMonth, fDate);
// get some date parts
fYear = oNew.getFullYear(); // 4 digit year
fMonth = oNew.getMonth(); // get zero based month
fDate = oNew.getDate(); // get date of month
// fill in field
this.getField('newDate').value = util.printf(sFormat, (fMonth + 1), fDate, fYear);
// make permanent
this.getField('newDate').defaultValue = this.getField('newDate').value;
// debugging aid
app.alert('dates updated', 2, 0);
} else {
app.alert('dates not updated', 1, 0);
} // end not empty
return;
} // end function
() // call funtion
); // end document level function
