First change the date format to dd/mm/yyyy as shown in code,Then after posting model, in action result you can convert to required format.
eg: string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("mm/dd/yyyy");

let me try but i think when i submit form it do not change the value of that field if date is greater than 12. so it do not reach till controller...if date is less than 12 than it update the value to controller.

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            $("#TxtBoxDate").datepicker({dateFormat:"dd/mm/yyyy" });
        });
    </script>
