Sorry about that, I deleted some important stuff while debugging. This ought to do the trick.

if ((new Date (document.onlineBooking.booking_year.value, document.onlineBooking.booking_month.value, document.onlineBooking.booking_day.value).getTime() - new Date().getTime()) < 0) {alert ('Please enter a date in the future'); return false};
