You ony have to check the validity of two[!] 
of the three parts of the resulting date, 
something like:

var tempA = myDateString.split(/[-.\/]/); // d-m-yyyy expected

// [test for the array size being 3, and the components being numeric]

var tempD = new Date(tempA[2],tempA[1]-1,tempA[0]);

if (tempA[1]-1 != tempD.getMonth()) ... error

if (tempA[2] != tempD.getFullYear()) ... error

// now tempD.getDate() must be correct by logic.
