Yes, if you are reading this artical, probably you also must have looking for same thing just like I did few mins ago, well let’s just not keep you searching no more.. so here it is
[sourcecode language='javascript']$(‘#txtDate’).datepicker({
dateFormat: ‘dd/mm/yy’
});[/sourcecode]
on this example I have used European data format (dd/mm/yy) , you can customize your formatting using following parameters. (from JQuery UI documentation)

• d – day of month (no leading zero)
• dd – day of month (two digit)
• D – day name short
• DD – day name long
• m – month of year (no leading zero)
• mm – month of year (two digit)
• M – month name short
• MM – month name long
• y – year (two digit)
• yy – year (four digit)
• ‘…’ – literal text
• ” – single quote
