Today's Date as a String

Today's Date as a String

Perhaps I'm not understanding something basic.
I'm intending to output today's date as a string in a set format.

Using the today function:
info today.toString(“MM/DD/YYYY”);

Today being March 13th, I'm expecting the output to be 3/13/2024.
Instead it gives me 3/73/2024.

Is it giving me the 73rd day of the year rather than the day of the month?
How do I fix this?
