y - year (two digit)
yy - year (four digit)

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ altFormat: "yy-mm-dd"});

Not very "intuitive" but "yyyy" is invalid probably in your case for the input date format while the alt-text uses "yyyy":   $( ".selector" ).datepicker({ appendText: "(yyyy-mm-dd)" });

Thanks for your help! But didn't work!😩 Do you have another idea?

There is a file "index.html" when you download the package jquery ui.

Little changes for some tests outside Salesforce: 
<!-- Datepicker -->
<h2 class="demoHeaders">Datepicker</h2>
<input id="datepicker"></input>


$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
    inline: true,
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy"
});

There is perhaps an overide with the VFP. I will make a test to see.
