I don't know if that is what you want, but "date -I" will give you your
date.

If there is a locale with all the requirements you want, I don't know.
but you can try using diferent LC_* variables toreach your goal.

You can try looking in /usr/lib/locale (there are only binary files, but
they must be generated somehow). 

You can also take a try with en_IN. 

HTH,
