This will help you to display the error for "invalid date" on errors div

function validateDate(testdate) {
    var date_regex = /^(0[1-9]|1[0-2])\/(0[1-9]|1\d|2\d|3[01])\/(19|20)\d{2}$/ ;
    return date_regex.test(testdate); // can use return testdate.match(date_regex);
}

$("#calculate").click(function(){

    if(!(validateDate($('#date1').val())) || !(validateDate($('#date2').val()))) {
        var friendlyErrorMessage = "Invalid Date";
        $('#errors').empty().text(friendlyErrorMessage);
        return false;
    }

    //Rest of code to send ajax request.
}
