Since everyone is doing TypeScript now. Here's a more modern example with an example of how to use it.

const generateRandomDOB = (): string => {
    const random = getRandomDate(new Date('1950-02-12T01:57:45.271Z'), new Date('2001-02-12T01:57:45.271Z'))
    return random.toISOString();
}

function getRandomDate(from: Date, to: Date) {
    const fromTime = from.getTime();
    const toTime = to.getTime();
    return new Date(fromTime + Math.random() * (toTime - fromTime));
}
