looks like you are trying to validate a range and it'd be pretty easy, I'd just use momentjs (http://momentjs.com/). Something like this - the fiddle has more actual details. Even better if you are using jquery ui, it already has a date range that enforces to is after from http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#date-range 

function isDateRangeValid(date1, date2) {
    var m1 = new moment(date1);
    var m2 = new moment(date2);

    if (m1.isValid() && m2.isValid()) {
        return m1 < m2;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

// Test the function
var testRanges = [
    ['01/10/2014','28-Dec-14'],
    ['28-Dec-2014', '27-Dec-14'],
    ['28-Dec-2014', '12/29/2014']
];

testRanges.forEach(function(entry) {
    alert('Range: ' + entry[0] + ' TO ' + entry[1] + 
      ', ISVALID: ' + 
      isDateRangeValid(entry[0],entry[1])
    );
});

You can use javascript's Date constructor to achieve this, just pass your date string to it;

new Date(yourString);

I have modified some of your code, assuming you are using JQuery, here is a working demo:

See fiddle

No need to reinvent the wheel 

 var date = new Date('28-Dec-14')

You can do this

var months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var d = new Date (year,months[month],date );
