Yes, most countries now follow the Gregorian calendar, i.e. the months are all the same with the same number of days etc.
BTW, new year here wasn't always January 1st. England and colonies (including USA) had new year on March 25th until 1752. So, you would have March 24th 1750, followed by March 25th 1751. January 1st was adopted in 1752. Scotland had adopted January 1st as its new year in 1600.
