The standard format (as far as CFML is concerned) is:
month/day/year (not day/month/year as you have)
You could use LSDateFormat() or simply get used to the "US" format.

Here is a list of 'Locales' you can use to format dates <br>
<br>
<br>
<cfloop list=#Server.ColdFusion.SupportedLocales# index=index>
#index#<br>
</cfloop>
<hr>This is what the different date formats look like... <br>
<cfloop list=#Server.ColdFusion.SupportedLocales# index=index>
<cfset temp=SetLocale(index)>
#GetLocale()# <br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'mmm-dd-yyyy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())# <br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'mmmm d, yyyy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())#<br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'mm/dd/yyyy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())# <br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'd-mmm-yyyy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())# <br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'ddd, mmmm dd, yyyy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())#<br>
#LSDateFormat(Now(), 'd/m/yy')# #LSTimeFormat(Now())# <br>
#LSDateFormat(Now())# #LSTimeFormat(Now())# <br>
