Date.parse() seems to mix up day and month

```
The Date.parse() function mixes up my days and month. My date fields are
formatted like "dd.mm.yyyy", so that 01.04.2014 means "first of April, 2014".
The parse() function, however, makes "January 4th, 2014", out of it. Do I have
a chance to correct that?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have a PDF document with several form fields, one of them a "begin_date"
field into which the user needs to enter a begin date.

For example, the user enters "01.10.2014" as the first of October, 2014. In
order to get this date for further calculations, I use:

var begin = Date.parse(this.getField('begin_date').value);

and the result is January 10, 2014 (month and day switched).

(I need to add 24 months afterwards, like "Date.begin.addMonths(24)".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd of course like to see the correct result "first of October, 2014".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I downloaded the latest version yesterday. I'm working on WIN 7 with Acrobat
Pro XI.

Thanks!
