Date selection and date format in MSSQL

Question

i have to make a select transaction with a microsoft SQL db. I have to select the entry in a given range of time. So i've made my little form with the datepicker of jquery. The datetime field in the database has this output:
Jan 1 2014 12:00:00:000AM
This is the format of the jquery datepicker:
{dateFormat: 'M dd yy'}
WHen i receive the GET call (but i've tested even with a POST and the output is the same)from the form i add the hours to the date (I'm using Zend framework 1.12):
$startdate= $this->getRequest()->getParam('datepicker');
$startdate= $startdate." 12:00:00:000AM";
$enddate= $this->getRequest()->getParam('datepicker1');
$enddate= $enddate." 12:00:00:000AM";
But it probably is not the right one as my select query:
SELECT [Document No_],[Sell-to Customer No_],[Planned Delivery Date],[Description],[Description 2] FROM dbo.SyncroPlanningTable WHERE CAST([Planned Delivery Date] as datetime)>='".$startdate."' AND CAST([Planned Delivery Date] as datetime)<='".$enddate."' ORDER BY [Planned Delivery Date] ASC
doesn't give any output. What am I doing wrong?

>>Jan 1 2014 12:00:00:000AM
I am not sure(I am also not so good in Zend,but still would like to give it a shot), should the format be like this?
Jan 1 2014 12:00:00.000 AM
Also SQL stores the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff(2014-02-12 21:41:00.293). So I think, if you pass the date in that format your query would work fine
