Supporting multiple date formats is a great idea and reduces errors.
I'd suggest looking into the flexible date/time picker used in iCal (
http://is.gd/9hPY) which is an array of date/time fields masquerading as one
text field. Arrow up/down lets you step the number up/down and arrow
left/right (and tab/shirt+tab) provides navigation inside the field.

The calendar pattern found Yahoo Pattern Library http://is.gd/9hQp is
perhaps even better suited to this task if the user is not already looking
at a calendar.

I'll be so bold as to suggest that using individual drop-downs for year,
month and day is inflexible and should now be considered an outdated
practice.
