Have your tried -

  @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Date, new { placeholder =  DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")})

/** Here is how I did it in my code. I had a richtexBox5 that I needed to add QTY placeholder. So what did was, inside public form i did the following */
  public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

         richTextBox5.Text = "QTY";// set text you want to show

         if (richTextBox5.Text == "QTY")
            {
             richTextBox5.ForeColor = Color.LightGray;// set color
           }
        }

/**now make this function which will listen to mouse click  in wherever part you want*/
 private void richTextBox5_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
        {           
            if(richTextBox5.Text=="QTY") // check what is in that textbox
            {
                richTextBox5.Text = "";// set it to null 
                richTextBox5.ForeColor = Color.Black;// change color
            }      
        }

Please, describe the solution you're proposing. – il_raffa Dec 23 '15 at 19:43 — il_raffa, Dec 23 '15 at 19:43
