Elegant method to generate array of random dates within two dates

Maybe I am missing something, but isn’t this it?

function randomDate(start, end) {
  return new Date(start.getTime() + Math.random() * (end.getTime() - start.getTime()));
}

const d = randomDate(new Date(2012, 0, 1), new Date());
console.log(d);
