the dateISO validation method should do what you need.

in your js, after including validator

jQuery.validator.addMethod("datetime", function(value, element) {
    return this.optional(element) || /^\d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}( \d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2})?$/.test(value);
    }, "Please enter a valid date (YYYY-MM-DD)"
);

// connect it to a css class
jQuery.validator.addClassRules({
    datetime : { datetime : true }    
});

in your html

<input type='text' class='datetime' />

this actually allows to enter a datetime format for mysql (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), but whatever.
