The jQuery UI Datepicker currentText option is used to display the text for the current day link. Also, use showButtonPanel option to display the button.

Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({
  currentText: "Now"
});

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css”>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link href=
    "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css"
