I am using the jquery datetimepicker and set it up as follows

$('.fddatetimepicker').datetimepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'
        });

No date is set by default. When I increment either of the hour or minute sliders for the first time by one place, I get the correct time but the date is set to 31/12/1899 in the input textbox. When i move the slider again it changes to the current date which is what I want.

Does anyone know why the initial increment of the slider causes the date to be 31/12/1899?

I also see this behaviour if i click anywhere on the slider for the first time and then the correct date is displayed when I click on the sliders any further times.

• Have used some jQuery to ensure any 1899 date is replaced with current date – Macca18 Commented May 11, 2015 at 14:08

just change the format of datetimepicker by using the below code. It will work like a charm. I had the same issue and I fixed using that approach below code.

$('.datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
                format: "dd-mm-yyyy hh:ii:00P",
                autoclose: true
            });

You can use the "startDate: new Date" property to start on the current date.

Example:

$('.fddatetimepicker').datetimepicker({ 
             dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
             startDate: new Date
        });

Try using format: 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:ii:ss P' The trick is to make sure your date format is the same as what the back-end returns.
