Using javaScript you can do.

Create two date field then in javascript write

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
var todaysdate=dd+"-"+mm+"-"+yyyy;
form.fields[0].fields[1][0].maxValue=todaysdate;
form.fields[0].fields[2][0].minValue=todaysdate;

‌ Hi- I need to get the date field from the form object- In the example given by you we assume that the first field in the form is the date field- I was checking the api's but could not find anything useful-

For e.g.: if the form field id was "golivedate"- how would I get it from the form object? could you guide me? Thanks in advance...

you can changes this according to your requirement like

form.fields[0].fields[1][0].maxValue=todaysdate; to form.fields[0].fields[2][1].maxValue=todaysdate;

It is just an example.
