Doing it this way would likely result in a customer concluding the date is TBD.

Cheers,
On most systems that isn't a valid date. What I've seen "typically" done is use a placeholder date well in the past (though a date that the system accepts, e.g. 1/1/1700) and then replace that value with a "TBD" or whatever in the presentation layer, i.e. the web browser.
