By default a
DateTime object will not handle any formatting (such as DD/MM/YYYY etc) as that will be handled depending on how you elect to output it through the .ToString() method as seen below :
'Create a DateTime object'
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Now
'You can use the .ToString() method to handle how you would like to format your Date'
Dim dtString As String = dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
If you would like more information on how you can format DateTime objects, you can see the following link on handling Custom Date and Time Formatting :

try this -
Dim yourDate As String = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
You can also use DateTime.TryParseExact Method or DateTime.ParseExact Method to convert date in required format

Please try like this.
Dim Now As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Or
dim date_time as DateTime = Date.ParseExact(txtDateAdded.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", Nothing).Date
Or refer to below links.
