I suggest using datepicker[^]
from JQuery UI plugin, see example:

XML

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#dateFrom').datepicker();
        $('#dateTo').datepicker({
            onSelect: function () {
                var dateFrom = $('#dateFrom').datepicker('getDate');
                var dateTo = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
                if (dateFrom >= dateTo) {
                    alert("Oop! dateTo must be later than dateFrom.");
                }
            }
        });
    });
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        From <asp:TextBox ID="dateFrom" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        To <asp:TextBox ID="dateTo" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>
