I'm on ubuntu 16.04 and I was wondering if there was a way I could get the default clock in the upper right to display the month as a number instead of as a word. For example, instead of "Tue Apr 25 2017", it would display "Tue 17/4/25" or "Tue 4/25/17".

You can achieve that using gsettings in the following way. Open your terminal and type in the following commands as displayed below:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-clock true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime time-format custom
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime custom-time-format "%a %m/%d/%y"
Result: Tue 4/25/17

Here you will can get other format strings that can also be used.
