Facebook sdk javascript fetching user data

I'm currently building an application which requires users to log in with their facebook account. Next I want the user's birthday, location, first- and lastname. To get the user's name isn't a problem but the location and birthday is not working properly.

I'm scoping to ask the user for permission to access his/her data:

function loginUser() {
FB.login(function(response) { }, {scope:'user_birthday,user_location'});
}

And next I want to write the user's location to the console just for testing:

function testAPI() { FB.api('/me?fields=user_location', function(response) { console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.user_location + '.'); });

Any idea's how to get this data? Thanks in advance!

user_birthday and user_location are the names of the permissions, not the field names; these are birthday and location. The following works for me:

function testAPI() { 
    FB.api('/me?fields=birthday,location', 
           function(response) { 
               console.log('Good to see you, user from ' + response.location + '.'); 
           });
}
