This sounds reasonable. Using the raw ISO format "yyyy-mm-dd" would be a better localisation for Mandarin than using "dd mm月 yyyy". I cannot be as certain for the other ymd languages, without a closer look at the linguistic data. I'm not sure what kind of scientific argument is being asked for, but on the subject of not assuming that users can work things out, I would recommend the following paper:

It's long but eye-opening. A summary is also available here:
