A bit late but I spent my afternoon on this and someone might find it useful.

Another way to do this declaratively is to use the dateType, dateFormat and modelDateFormat attributes. Set these in either the config or the HTML e.g

angular.module('app').config(function ($datepickerProvider) {
    angular.extend($datepickerProvider.defaults, {
        dateFormat: 'dd-MMMM-yyyy',
        modelDateFormat: "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss",
        dateType: "string"
    });
});

DateFormat is the format the date will be displayed to the user in the date picker while modelDateFormat is the format it will be converted to before being bound to your model.

I also had default values coming from the server which I needed to be bound to the datepicker on page load. I therefore had to update the format the server serialized dates in JSON to match the modelDateFormat. I am using Web API so I used the below.

var jsonSettings = Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings;
jsonSettings.DateFormatString = "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss";
