It has many ways to do that.

Fine
We got options like these
If str_input = “September 16, 2019”
Then
Option 1
Str_output = DateTime.ParseExact(str_input,”MMMM dd,yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”)

Option 2
Str_output = Convert.ToDatetime(str_input).Tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”)

Option
Str_output = Convert.Todatetime(str_input).ToshortDatestring

Cheers @Keithm
