Hi Royal,

Salesforce has a standard vf component called <apex:input> which can help you for this recuirement.
this has type attribute to accept date. 
Ex: 
VF:
<apex:input type="date" value="{!x_date}"/>
Apex:
public Date x_date    {get;set;}

Hope this helped you... :)

Using the <apex:inputField> tag with and object automatically renders the type of that field.
For eg:., if you field is Date/DateTime it will automatically render the date calendar. 
<apex:inputField value="{!Object.DateField]" />
For relationship fields, it automatically renders to a lookup field.

Let me know if this helped.

Hi Royal,

Please find the below examples to display the date field with date pickers.

Ex 1 :
Visual Force Page :
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" controller="Sample">
<apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                Date: <apex:input type="date" value="{!dat}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Controller :
public class Sample {
    public Date dat {get;set;}
    public Sample() {

    }
}

Ex 2 :
Visual Force Page :
<apex:page controller="datePicker" id="mypage">
    <apex:form>    
        Date: <apex:inputText value="{!datename}" size="10" id="demo" onfocus="DatePicker.pickDate(false, this , false);" />    
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Controller :
public class DatePicker 
{
    public String datename {get; set;}
}


Note : Before executing the above code check with your visual force page vesion, and set it to 27 - 28 in order for DatePicker to work.

Please mark my solution as best answer if it helps you................

Best Regards,

Do Simple. If you are getting date or datetime on your controller by actionfunction or actionsupport and your actionfunction or actionsupport is calling under <apex:inputfield>.

use below code:

String sDate = String.ValueOf('DATEGETBYACTIONSUPPORT or DATEGETBYACTIONFUNCTION');

System.Debug('sDate: ' + sDate);
