<SharePoint:DateTimeControl runat="server" ID="txtDOB" DateOnly="True" LocaleId="2057" IsRequiredField="true" ErrorMessage="*">
</SharePoint:DateTimeControl>

For Custom Error Message you use this Code..

<sharepoint:datetimecontrol id="dteDemo" runat="server" dateonly="true" />
<asp:CompareValidator ID="valDate" runat="server" ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="dteDemo$dteDemoDate"
            Type="Date" Operator="DataTypeCheck" ErrorMessage="*">
</asp:CompareValidator>
