Strange behavior with multiple Javascript functions

I've got some strange behaviour with a javascript file, when I have multiple functions in the .js file.

I have a Logging.js file, which writes to a text file:

function WriteLog(message)
{
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    var textFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\\Users\\sysadmin\\Desktop\\Tom's Work Area\\file.txt", 8, true);

    textFile.WriteLine(message);
    textFile.Close();
}

And I call this function in my HTML like so:

<head>
     <script src="C:\\Users\\sysadmin\\Desktop\\Tom's Work Area\\Logging.js" type="text/Javascript" </script>
</head>

<body>
    <script>
        WriteLog("text");
    </script>
</body>

Which works perfectly, however, when I add another function to my Logging.js file:

function getDate()
{
    try{
    var date = new Date();

    var year = date.getFullYear();

    var day = date.getDate();
    if (day < 10)
    {
        day = "0" + day;
    }

    var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
    if (month < 10)
    {
        month = "0" + month;
    }

    var hour = date.getHours();

    var minutes = date.getMinutes();
    if (minutes <= 9)
    {
        minutes = "0" + minutes;
    }

    var seconds = date.getSeconds();
    if (seconds <= 9)
    {
        seconds = "0" + seconds;
    }

    var dateString = "" + day "/" + month + "/year" + " " + hours + ":" + minutes ":" + seconds;

    return dateString;
    }

    catch(e)
    {
        Script.writeln(e.description);
    }
}

Then the writing to a text file doesn't even work, as if the Logging.js file doesn't work anymore! Even when I don't call the getDate() function.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Typo:

var dateString = "" + day "/" + m

var dateString = "" + day + "/" + m

Missing + on the string concat. minutes is missing a + sign as well.
