If you are doing any work with internationalization and ASP.NET MVC I highly recommend reading through these two excellent posts by Nadeem Afana

• ASP.NET MVC 3 Internationalization
• ASP.NET MVC 3 Internationalization - Part 2 (NerdDinner Demo)

In his second post he has a detailed example of using the jQuery UI datepicker and discusses the issues with localization.

In his example he mentions the following

@* Unfortunately, the datepicker only supports Neutral cultures, so we need to adjust date and time format to the specific culture *@
    $("#EventDate").change(function(){
      $(this).val(Globalize.format($(this).datetimepicker('getDate'), Globalize.culture().calendar.patterns.d + " " + Globalize.culture().calendar.patterns.t)); /*d t*/
    });

i also recommend downloading the Nerd Dinner internationalization demo linked on his site.
