Javascript code returning unexpected identifier in the console.

Could somebody tell me what's wrong with this piece of code please. I can't see it. Thanks.

<body> <script> var DateofBirth = new Date("October 20, 1991 12:05:02");

        function formatDate(date){

            var year = date.getFullYear();

            var month = date.getMonth();
            month = month + 1;

            if(month < 10){
                month = "0" + month;
            }

            var day = date.getDate();

            if(day < 10){
                day = "0" + day;   
            }

            return day + "/" + month + "/" year;

        }

        document.write(formatDate(DateofBirth));
    </script>
</body>

</html>

Hey Troy, it might be the '+' missing at the very end before the year?

return day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
