In order to be independent of the language and locale settings, you should use the ISO 8601 YYYYMMDD
format - this will work on any SQL Server system with any language and regional setting in effect:
SELECT
CAST(
CAST(year AS VARCHAR(4)) +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(month AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(day AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
AS DATETIME)
