Use following code ,

[self.DatePicker addTarget:self
                   action:@selector(SetDatePickerTime:)
         forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

    -(void)SetDatePickerTime:(id)sender
    {
       NSDateFormatter *outputFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        [outputFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyy"];

        NSString *title = [outputFormatter stringFromDate:self.DatePicker.date];
        NSLog(@"%@",[outputFormatter stringFromDate:self.DatePicker.date]);

       [yourButton setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    }

You can do something like this from the method you dismiss the datePicker

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];

NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[self.datePicker date]];

[self.dateButton setTitle:dateString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
