    This code is duplicated below. Please place it in a function. Also, if there is an `IllegalArgumentException`, a birthday won't be set at all; is this what we define as expected behaviour for this plugin's API?

> We are facing an issue while trying to add birthday to Contact while using Cordova for android while adding a new contact to the phonebook
> following is part of the code
> contact = navigator.contacts.create({
> "displayName": displayname
> });
> // store contact name
> var contactName = new ContactName();
> contactName.familyName = lastname;
> contactName.givenName = firstname
> contact.name = contactName;
> contact.birthday = new Date("16 May 1984");
> // save the contact
> contact.save();
> With above code, when data is viewed in android phone, the birthday is save as 29-12-6731 instead of expected 16-May-1984
> we have tried all possible combinations of date entry viz: 16-May-1984 ; 16/May/1984 ; 16/5/1984 ; new date(1984,05,16)
> but all in vain the results are the same.
> also need to know how to save anniversary date
> when using this plugin for IOS, the date saved is 15-May-1984 (1 day less than expected).
