I don't quite understand your question.

VBscript has some date and time functions to get the current systemdate (like Date(), Day(), Year(), Month(), ...).
The data-time format i which these are displayed can be specified by using the FormatDateTime() function (see below)

The presentation (like mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy) can be specified with session.LCID()

More info from helpfile

FormatDateTime Function

Description
Returns an expression formatted as a date or time.
Syntax
FormatDateTime(Date[, NamedFormat])
The FormatDateTime function syntax has these parts:
Part Description
Date Required. Date expression to be formatted.
NamedFormat Optional. Numeric value that indicates the date/time format used. If omitted, vbGeneralDate is used.

Settings
The NamedFormat argument has the following settings:
Constant Value Description
vbGeneralDate 0 Display a date and/or time. If there is a date part, display it as a short date. If there is a time part, display it as a long time. If present, both parts are displayed.
vbLongDate 1 Display a date using the long date format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbShortDate 2 Display a date using the short date format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbLongTime 3 Display a time using the time format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbShortTime 4 Display a time using the 24-hour format (hh:mm).

Remarks
The following example uses the FormatDateTime function to format the expression as a long date and assign it to MyDateTime:
Function GetCurrentDate
' FormatDateTime formats Date in long date.
GetCurrentDate = FormatDateTime(Date, 1)
End Function
