Remember that you can change the order too.

My birthday is on January the fifth.
My birthday is January the fifth.

Note that we would normally write "My birthday is on January 5th" but when we read that sentence aloud, we would say "January the fifth".

There is nothing wrong with saying January the fifth, but in AmE, January 5th would be said very commonly.
