Coldfusion error messages are pretty clear ...

so the error is telling us the date format is wroung ...

there for :

<cfform>
<cfinput name="stDate" type="datefield" mask="mm/dd/yyyy" value="#dateformat(now(),'mm/dd/yyyy')#"/>
</cfform>

cfselect has a selected attribute.  That's how I'd do it.  Also, I'd use the date from the server unless there was a really compelling reason to attempt to get it from the client.
