it looks you're writing wcf service. default, wcf uses datacontractjsonserializer json serialization - uses format.

you should consider either replacing json.net - or preferably, writing service asp.net webapi instead - uses json.net.

json.net (by default) utilize iso-8601 serialization format. preferred format sending dates on wire, in json. example, "2014-10-15t21:54:00-07:00".

you should not utilize dd mm yyyy format, json intended machine readable. if machine mm dd yyyy civilization attempts read string, misinterpret value. example, "1/2/2014" can read either jan 2nd, or feb 1st.

as aside - should consider using datetimeoffset type in .net instead of datetime.
