1 There is no need for conversion into a date object value,
[ and fearing a DST-change during the code's execution perhaps ;-) ]
Putting these numbers in the below array will do fine as well:

(year * 10000) + (month * 100) + (day * 1)

2 You can just store the pointers, 
supposedly those results are what you need in the html.

Try [not tested]:

var arr = [ -1, .... ];
var low = 0, high = 0, arrlen = arr.length, i;

for( i = 1; i < arrlen; i++ ) {
   if ( arr[i] < arr[low] ) low = i;
   if ( arr[i] > arr[high] ) high = i;
};
