I prefer to have a 24-hour digital clock, and I like a mm-dd-yy date format. Or even something like Jul 07 17 or Jul 07 -- either one would be fine with me. I can easily do these things in Xfce, but not in Plasma 5.
Getting the 24-hour digital clock was fairly simple; I marked the "Detailed Settings" box; then, changed the setting for "Time" to "Default (C)":
Then I clicked the "Apply" button. I had to log into a new session for the changes to take effect.
Note the "Examples" towards the bottom of the "Formats" window. The "short format" for the date is not exactly what I want. The "short format" is what shows up for the date on the panel; I saw no easy way to customize it to my liking, so in the end I decided to leave the date off the panel. I guess I can live with seeing the date when the cursor is hovering over the digital clock:
