To get around your "hacky" setTimeout workaround, you can attach click event handlers to the prev and next buttons. Here's code adapted from Martin's answer.

$(function() {
    function appendText(text) {
        $('.ui-datepicker-calendar').after(''+lastText+'');
    }

    function addClickHandlers() {
        $('.ui-datepicker-prev, .ui-datepicker-next')
            .on('click', function() {
                addClickHandlers();
                appendText();
            });
    }

    var lastText;
    $( ".datepicker" ).datepicker()
        .on( "click", function() {
            lastText = $( this ).data('dptxt');
            appendText();
            addClickHandlers();
        });
});
