Yes, i dag means 'today' and since we can't make a genitive out of that, we use dagens instead.

dagens is the genitive for both dagen and i dag. We can't form a real genitive to i dag (there's no such word as 'idags'), so we need to use the genitive of dagen instead.

Tomorrow's is morgondagens. Tonight's, depends on what you mean, if you mean night-night, I'd say nattens, if you mean evening, kvällens.

Native English speaker (Canadian) here..."what is the day today?" sounds like you're asking which day of the week it is (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc). not what the date is (for example: May 4th, December 25th etc).

If you were talking about an historical day, like an Independence Day of a country, and you wanted to ask "What is the day's date?" how would you ask that?
