Question: Can I file my New Jersey sales and use tax return and make my payment on the 20th and be considered timely?

Yes. As long as your return is transmitted by 11:59 p.m. on the due date, whether by phone or online, it will be considered timely filed. Whether you are paying by EFT, e-check or credit card, if the payment is made by 11:59 p.m. on the due date, it will be deemed timely.
