My suggestion is to add binding to DatePicker like this:

SelectedDate="{Binding DateToBind, Mode=TwoWay}

and then set value of DateToBind.

UPD:

Sample code (note: it's just a sample created in couple of minutes)

namespace SilverlightApplication1
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataContext = new ViewModel();
        }
    }

    public class ViewModel: INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private DateTime _currentDateTime;
        public DateTime CurrentDateTime
        {
            get { return _currentDateTime; } 
            set { 
                _currentDateTime = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("CurrentDateTime");
            }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
        {
            PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
            if (handler != null) handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }

        public ViewModel()
        {
            CurrentDateTime = DateTime.Now;
        }
    }
}

Try to set the SelectedDate value.

cAccCreditDate.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
