<script src="../../assets/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../assets/js/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I am not sure whether this is your error or not, but you can use Control.ClientID to get an element inside a naming container.

$("#<%= calendardatedob.ClientID %>").datepicker(); 

If this is also not working then check whether all the js files are loaded or not, using a DOM inspector.
