Hopefuly someone can help me, please

I have been editing events.html.php as I don't need all the features that are in it. I've basically pared it down to just the forward and back arrows.
My problem is that I want to put the current date (when viewing today) or the current month (when viewing a different month) into the table that comprises the navigation. Please see my attached image to understand what I mean.

I know nothing about PHP but I've been brave and tried to move stuff but I can't be doing it right and I'm stuck. Is this possible or should I give up and accept to have the date/month where it is originally?
Hoping to get lucky on a reply this time!
