All you need to do is replace the string variable dtStr and Javascript Now method.

var dtStr = "24/11/2018";
var r=dtStr.split('/');
var dtObj = new Date(r[2],r[1]-1,r[0]);

var today = new Date();
var day = today.getDate();
var month = today.getMonth()+1; 
var year = today.getFullYear();
if(day<10)
{
    day='0'+dd;
} 
if(month<10)
{
    month='0'+month;
} 
var today = day+'/'+month+'/'+year;
var trans=today.split('/');
var obj = new Date(trans[2],trans[1]-1,trans[0]);

if(obj> dtObj)
{
document.write("Today date is greater than past date" + dtObj.toLocaleDateString());
}
else
{
document.write("Today date is lesser than past date" +dtObj.toLocaleDateString());
}
