Its called URL hacking. 

Inspect the page (Right click on page > Inspect)

Find id of the input field 

Then add the following in your URL

&<Field ID HERE>={!Object.DatefieldName}

Use {!$System.Today()} instead of {!Object.DatefieldName}

Hi

Try this 
// In Javascript
var myDateParameter = '{!$currentpage.parameters.circularno}';

var s = document.getElementById('{!$Component.myInputFieldId}');
 s.value = myDateParameter ;
