I think the way to tackle this problem is to start by converting the format string to a RE with named groups e.g %m-%d-%y would become (?<d>\d\d)-(?<m>\d\d)-(?<Y>\d{4})
There are still locale issues as %a would become (?<a>Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun) in English locals but (?<a>Lun|Mar|Mer|Jeu|Ven|Sam|Dim) in French locals.
Once this is done if a string matches the RE you can then pull out the named group values and verify they go together correctly e.g that a=Tue is correct for d=4 m=6 Y=2019.
