Something like this perhaps:

  var oWMI = GetObject('winmgmts:')
  var eOSes = new Enumerator(oWMI.InstancesOf('Win32_OperatingSystem'))
  var oOS
  while (!(oOS && oOS.Primary) && !eOSes.atEnd()) {
  	oOS = eOSes.item()
  	eOSes.moveNext()
  }
  var oDate = new ActiveXObject('WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime')
  oDate.Value = oOS.LocalDateTime
  WScript.Echo(oDate.Day + '/' + oDate.Month + '/' + oDate.Year)

I'm not sure if bothering to search the operating system list is
overkill or if just 

  var oOS = new Enumerator(oWMI.InstancesOf('Win32_OperatingSystem')).item()

would be sufficient but presumably it doesn't hurt.
