DateTime Firstdate= new DateTime(2000, 1, 19, 0, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime Second= new DateTime();

Days d = Days.daysBetween(Firstdate, Second);
int days = d.getDays();

System.out.println(" Difference between " + Second);
System.out.println(" and " + Firstdate+ " is " + days + " days.");

You should use a jQuery datepicker for the following reasons:
1. No need to write code to validate users' inputs for date (that is the biggest hassle of all);
2. Easily customizable date format for display.
3. No server side round trips.
Adapt the following code to your need:
XML
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {

   var format = "dd/mm/yy";
   var $this = $("#datepicker");
   var newDate = $this.datepicker({
    dateFormat: format,
    onSelect: function()
    {
       var newDate= $(this).datepicker('getDate');
       var curDateTime = new Date();
       var curDate = new Date(curDateTime.getFullYear(), curDateTime.getMonth(), curDateTime.getDate());
       if (curDate  > newDate ) {
            alert('The new date is earlier than today');
         } else if (curDate  < newDate ){
           alert('The new date is later than today');
         } else {
           alert('The new date is today');
         }
    }
 });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
</body>
</html>
