Diane,
Are you talking about the old xul client or the new browser client?
While this setting will affect various date formats throughout the
Evergreen database (and not just the Patron DOB field), you can set
the date format via Library Setting: Format Dates with this pattern.
I don't think this setting affects the date format in the browser client
patron registration form.

I hope this helps!

Good afternoon –
The staff at my library are working through a patron registration
exercise. More than one person has asked why the birthdate needs
to be entered yyyy-mm-dd, a format not widely used in the USA. How
should I answer that question?
Thank you.
