Change Date Picker Calendar Format/functionality

I find the current date picker in the front end quite cumbersome and confusing for customers.

When entering a birthday during signup, you click the calendar, most people will then select month and day, once a day is selected the calendar closes and they either move on with a date of birth in 2022 or start all over again by selecting the year, then having to once again select the month and click the day to save the change

I am looking for a way to make it save selection on change of any input

currently it only saves change on day selection, it does NOT save change if you change the month or year, you MUST click a day to save changes or manually enter the date.

As a temporary measure I have added the text (select year first) after the Birthday text in language file
