in config/site.php:

// Set time to 24 hour format
define('DATE_FORM_HELPER_FORMAT_HOUR', '24');
// Use php date strings for any or all of
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY', 'j/m/Y');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY_FULL', 'd F Y');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT', 'j/m/Y \a\t H:i');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT_FULL', 'd F Y \a\t H:i');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_T', 'H:i');

Thank you! @JohntheFish but the problem lies when the datepicker is changed. Initially the date is yyyy/mm/dd then when it is changed it turns to it's correct format mm/dd/yyyy. How to fix the initial display?

Looking at the code, the constant for this field is DATE_APP_DATE_PICKER which needs to be in a format that the jQuery.ui datepicker can understand.
