You may use formatters after picking value inside your datepicker directive. For example

angular.module('foo').directive('bar', function() {
    return {
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
            if (!ctrl) return;

            ctrl.$formatters.push(function(value) {
                if (value) {
                    // format and return date here
                }

                return undefined;
            });
        }
    };
});
