Look at using the library date.js:-

http://www.datejs.com/

This library adds a number of methods for working with date objects.

Without using an external library, the easiest way to compare a date of birth is over 16 is to convert the date to an epoch timestamp and then compare this against a timestamp of now minus 16 years.

Be aware that while most languages/platforms use timestamps in seconds, Javascript uses milliseconds, so when comparing against timestamps from external sources, you need to divide by a factor of 1000.
