I think the C.E./A.D. is in place to indicate which calendar system. Of course, drop-down lists would serve this end equally well.

I can understand your concerns, but C.E. is not so well known among non-native speakers. We could just remove it and put "YYYY-MM-DD" aside the form for avoiding confusion?
A.D. is ridiculous here unless you plan to have some participants who are over 2000 years old... I have this set up on my site using drop-down lists for year and day, so people can't get confused about which is which.
Birthday -> Birthdate
Best wishes, Chuck
