Do you mean something like this ?

First you should include jQuery UI Datepicker

Then you will also create a directive for it:

app.directive('datePicker', function(){
    return {
        restrict : "A",
        require: 'ngModel',
        link : function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel){
            $(function(){
                $(element).datepicker({
                     changeMonth: true,
                     changeYear: true,
                     closeText: 'Clear',
                     showButtonPanel: true,
                     onClose: function () {
                        var event = arguments.callee.caller.caller.arguments[0];
                        // If "Clear" gets clicked, then really clear it
                        if ($(event.delegateTarget).hasClass('ui-datepicker-close')) {
                            $(this).val('');
                            scope.$apply(function() {
                               ngModel.$setViewValue(null);
                            });
                        }
                    },
                    onSelect: function(date){
                        scope.$apply(function() {
                           ngModel.$setViewValue(date);
                        });
                    }
               });
            })
        }
    }
})

In your columnDefs you will also need to use customer filters and filter header template:

filters:[{ condition: checkStart}, {condition:checkEnd}],filterHeaderTemplate: '

from : to :

'

Assume you are using momentjs The filter functions will be like this:

function checkStart(term, value, row, column) {
        term = term.replace(/\\/g,"")
        var now = moment(value);
        if(term) {
            if(moment(term).isAfter(now, 'day')) return false;;
        } 
        return true;
    }

    function checkEnd(term, value, row, column) {
        term = term.replace(/\\/g,"")
        var now = moment(value);
        if(term) {
            if(moment(term).isBefore(now, 'day')) return false;;
        } 
        return true;
    }
