Comparing 2 Dates One is jquery Object and other is in textbox

I am trying to compare two dates, one is in text box written as YYYY-MM-DD and other is jquery Datepicker instance

I am calling the function with a custom wrapper function 

datePicker('#edd', {onSelect: function(str, obj){ check_if_edd_less_OD(str, obj); }});

and below is the JS function to compare dates

function check_if_edd_less_OD(s, o) {

    console.clear();

    var eddDate = new Date();
    eddDate.setDate(o.selectedDay);
    eddDate.setMonth(o.selectedMonth);
    eddDate.setYear(o.selectedYear);

    orderDate = $('#orderdate').val().split('-');

    console.log(orderDate);


    var odDate = new Date();
    odDate.setDate(parseInt(orderDate[2], 10));
    odDate.setMonth(parseInt(orderDate[1], 10));
    odDate.setYear(parseInt(orderDate[0], 10));


    console.log(eddDate);
    console.log(odDate);


    if (odDate.getTime() < eddDate.getTime()) {
        console.log('You shall Pass');
    } else {

        console.log('You shall NOT Pass');
    }


}

as of today, the orderdate input is set to 2013-03-07, if I select 5 APR 2013 from datepicker it dont work

following is the output of console

["2013", "03", "07"]
Date {Fri Apr 05 2013 16:55:23 GMT+0500 (Pakistan Standard Time)}
Date {Sun Apr 07 2013 16:55:23 GMT+0500 (Pakistan Standard Time)}
You shall NOT Pass

as you can see console.log(eddDate); is giving correct output but console.log(odDate); is giving me 7th April 2013.

Question: Why this is such a behavior?

The month counting of Date objects is zero-based (January:0, …, April:3). Not sure what format that o.selectedMonth is in, but the parsed YYY-MM-DD date should be changed to

odDate.setMonth(parseInt(orderDate[1], 10)-1);

Btw, you don't need to call getTime() before comparing two Date objects against each other, they will automatically be casted to that number.
