Text box Date mask

Question

I want to display a text box on my webpage which has a Date input mask. For example: When the user visits the page; the text box should be prefilled with dd/mm/yyyy in light grey color. He should overwrite the same using some valid date like 20/12/1990.

How to accomplish this task (JQuery, JavaScript)? Any inputs would be helpful!!
