In which database are you going to store? .. If SQL server then check the default format by executing

SELECT getdate()

You'll find the format in which SQL server stored date datatype value in a field.

dates are stored in sql server internally as integer values. when you select datetime field the values will be shown in iso format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss
You can apply CONVERT() function to get it in format you want by making it varchar and specifying a style value which corresponds to format. This can also be done in front end applications using format functions available there.

See below links for more info
