Because the datepicker is inside a IFrame and I am giving you the direct URL of IFrame so you can test your logic. Else use what you saw in @DebanjanB answer — Tarun Lalwani

The element with id="datepicker" is within a frame. So we have to switch to the intended frame first, then locate the element and then call the click() method as follows:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/");
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@class='demo-frame'][@src='/resources/demos/datepicker/default.html']")));
driver.findElement(By.id("datepicker")).click();
System.out.println("Datepicker Clicked");
