Use Date.today()

Use format method in apex to achieve it.

something like Date.format('dd/mm/yyyy')

 

you can create a map to hold locale as key and format as value and then this map can be used to find the correct date format on runtime.

Use UserInfo.getLocale() to find current users locale.

 

hope this helps.
