"in the West" is not a helpful distinction. The various Protestant denominations developed their canons at different times relative to each other and relative to Catholicism. As a result, the dating differs between groups. The three most famous are the Catholics, the Calvinists, and the Anglicans/Episcopalians.
Catholics: Generally accepted by the mid-300s, but formalized in the Council of Trent in 1546.
Calvinism: Gallic Confession of Faith in 1559.
Anglicanism/Episcopalian: Thirty-Nine Articles of 1563.
