JQuery messing with date validation

I have a issue with the kendo datepicker, that is caused by the jquery.validate.*.js. I get a validation error when using DatePicker because it validates that date as if it was en-US (MM/dd/yyyy) and not nb-NO (dd.MM.yyyy) which it should be. So when I write the date of the day above 12 do I get a error that says ".. must be a date". When I remove the included library from Jquery does the datepicker work just fine, but then there's other functionality that doesn't work. Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue would be greatly appriciated.

I'm using .NET 3.5, MVC 4 and the DatePickerFor.
