The Now function returns the time from the operating system clock. CF
doesn't have its own internal clock.

The CreateODBCDate function returns an ODBC-compliant date string, which
looks something like this:
{d '2001-12-13'}
which is 13 December 2001.
My guess is that your operating system is set to UK English settings, and
that CF is picking up on that. You might look at the "International
Functions" section of your CF function documentation to see how to deal with
the issue programmatically.
