You need a bit of JavaScript to accomplish what you want. Read up on
setInterval() function:

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp

Then use JQuery to update your input field in the function called each
time the setInterval() fires:

$('#get_date').val(current_date);

How you get "current_date" is up to you. You can get the current date
directly in JavaScript or get it from the server using AJAX (Jquery).
