You can do this, but this is too much of a waste of time and involves cumbersome use of HTML5's localStorage api. For more info, look at this question. In this case also, it's not possible to make type=date behave uniformly in all browsers because each browser handles this differently and you don't have any control over it.

HTML5's standards indicate usage of YYYY-MM-DD format but the browsers sniff your local date format and use that. See this from w3:

The format used "on the wire", i.e. in HTML markup and in form submissions, is intended to be computer-readable and consistent irrespective of the user's locale. Dates, for instance, are always written in the format "YYYY-MM-DD", as in "2003-02-01". Users are not expected to ever see this format.

and this question at jquery Mobile site.

All this must tell you that doing this will take a lot of effort from you. Instead, it would be better if you use some other alternative to this, taken from this question like this : http://jsbin.com/ukelis/1/edit

you could change the dateformat in the altFormat option in the JS and make this work for you. You could also look at this - a mobile version for jquery UI's datepicker.
