There's space in this FontSize="28 ", remove it.

To increase font size you need to create custom style for datepicker.

<Style TargetType="dt:DatePicker" x:Name="DatePickerWithLargeFont">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="dt:DatePicker">
                <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="0.7*" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ComboBox x:Name="DayOptions" FontSize="28"
                      Margin="0,0,5,0" />
                    <ComboBox x:Name="MonthOptions" FontSize="28"
                      Grid.Column="1"
                      Margin="0,0,5,0" />
                    <ComboBox x:Name="YearOptions" FontSize="28"
                      Grid.Column="2" />
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

<dt:DatePicker x:Name="MyDatePicker" Height="50" Width="600" Style="{StaticResource DatePickerWithLargeFont}" />
