You can use method getDateTimeInstance, of DateFormat. Here the getDateTimeInstance method takes 3 arguments

1. the style of Date field
2. the style of time field

3. the Locale using which pattern is auto extracted

   DATE_FORMAT = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.US);
   System.out.println(DATE_FORMAT.format(d));
   DATE_FORMAT = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.FRENCH);
   System.out.println(DATE_FORMAT.format(d));
