$fieldset->addField('date', 'date', array(
    'name'               => 'date',
    'label'              => Mage::helper('your_module_name')->__('Date'),
    'after_element_html' => '<small>Comments</small>',
    'tabindex'           => 1,
    'image'              => $this->getSkinUrl('images/grid-cal.gif'),
    'format'             => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT) ,
    'value'              => date( Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateStrFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT),
                                  strtotime('next weekday') )
));
