Hello Renan,
As Brock previously stated, the date default format is set by the selected language settings. Forms does not have a method to override the setting.
If you would like additional features or options, you should provide feedback to Google. Go to the edit form view, in the bottom right corner is a "?" icon for "Report a problem". You can share requests and ideas here. The Google product team does review this feedback. The more request for a feature, the more likely for it to be added.
cheers,
GregE

UKPaul, thank you. Very informative. Two questions:
1) I would like to force date/time format for both questionnaire and the response. More specifically, I want to force 24h time format for the response, and I want to have this response to be sent to an email address. The response email would show something like "The result is: 15:35:59". And I can almost achieve this. Using the Google Forms Extension "Email Notifications for Google Forms", the response for "Date incl. Time" can be forced to HH:mm:ss. However, that extension doesn't support only "Time" (it supports only Date incl. Time) for the localization part. But that extension is good in that it sends the actual responses in the reponse email (as opposed to sending a link to responses like Google Forms would do without the extension). Is there a way to force the Time to be in 24h format for the response (as opposed to the question)?
2) Are you able to add a new question to your "Example Date and Time Formats" form, a Time Field which would force 24h time format regardless of browser?
