Don't know about a validation for that case, but perhaps you can do something with this script:

There's a few methods you can use to solve this.
One is "regular expressions". Quite tricky to begin with, but extrememly powerful. Basically you setup patterns, and check them against the user's input.

The other method I can think of, which is quite simple, is to change your form. Use SELECT drop-downs so that the user cannot enter any bad data. You will then have full control over all formatting of the dates.
