In LiveCycle Designer the Date/Time Field is user input. Use a regular text field if you are going to display date information in a read-only field.

Read this article to learn more about using Dates and Times in JavaScript. The article uses AcroForms examples, but everything in it is also applicable to LiveCycle Forms because dates and times are a Core JavaScript feature, not an Acrobat or LiveCycle feature.
