    <%= time_select :check_out, {ampm: true} ,{:class => 'form-control' }  %>

Answer 1

on Rails API docs the date_select is defined as

date_select(object_name, method, options = {}, html_options = {})

you are placing options as the second parameter when it should be the third one.

solution 1:

<%= date_select :date, nil, { start_year: Date.today.year - 1, :end_year => Date.today.year, order: [:day, :month, :year] }  %>

You have the same problem for the time_select :

time_select(object_name, method, options = {}, html_options = {})

solution 2:

 <%= time_select :check_out, nil, {ampm: true} ,{:class => 'form-control' }  %>

Answer 2

The parameters are in the wrong order. It should be:

<%= label_tag :date,"Date" %>
<%= date_select :date, {}, { start_year: Date.today.year - 1, :end_year => Date.today.year, order: [:day, :month, :year] }  %>

<%= label_tag :check_in,"Check In Time" %>
<%= time_select :check_in, {}, {ampm: true} %>

<%= label_tag :check_out,"Check Out Time" %>
<%= time_select :check_out, {}, {ampm: true}   %>
