Assuming the machine name of your content type is "test".
Please navigate to: admin/structure/types/manage/test/form-display
You should see the following form (with different fields, of course).[![enter image description here][1]][1]
In my example, the name of the field is simply "date" . You can change the widget to Select list and then you will see the cog wheel on the right side of the row.
After clicking on it, you shall be able to choose your preferred Date Format.

Hopefully that helps.
Update 1: Regarding Update In my default Drupal installation when I try to add date-based fields, I do have the following 2 options:
- Date
- Timestamp
Option Date
I have suboptions, "Date only" or "Date and time"[![enter image description here][3]][3]time"
- If I choose "Date and time" -> I am able to see the select widget as option.
- If I choose "Date only" -> I am able to see the select widget as option.
Timestamp
I am able to see only Datetime timestamp
