Sometimes you cannot modify form types. For example, I'm using Symfony2 Bundle's FormType.

I had this problem using Genemu jQuery Datepicker, and I solved this problem adding a calendar image button and a litle of css code.

You can see final result in this link

Here you can read documentation for adding image icon: jQuery UI Datepicker

Then, I simple added a css like this (maybe style rules will be different for you):

form input[type=date] + img {
    position: relative;
    left: -25px;
}
