jQuery Mobile has a datepicker too. Source

Just include the following files,

  <script src="jQuery.ui.datepicker.js"></script>
  <script src="jquery.ui.datepicker.mobile.js"></script>

You should read-up on jQueryUI Datepicker

Once you include the relevant jQuery UI library, it's as simple as,

Script:

$(function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});

HTML:

<input type="text" id="datepicker" />

Pros:
