2 approaches

1) you can use catalog UI policy without scripting

2) If you want you can use onChange catalog client script as well

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    var selectedDate = new Date(newValue);
    var today = new Date();
    // Set time to 00:00:00 for accurate comparison
    today.setHours(0,0,0,0);

    // Calculate max date (3 months from today)
    var maxDate = new Date(today);
    maxDate.setMonth(maxDate.getMonth() + 3);

    if (selectedDate < today || selectedDate > maxDate) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Please select a date within the next 3 months.');
        g_form.clearValue('your_date_variable_name');
    }
}

Take a look at this. It may not have 100% what you are looking for but it will have a script include which is what you will need. You may just need to add another function to it.
