You might be interested in {html_select_date}.

{html_select_date 
  start_year=1970 
  month_format="%b" 
  field_order="dmy" 
  field_array="date" 
  prefix="" 
  day_id="dd" 
  month_id="mm" 
  year_id="yy"
}

will generate HTML like

<select id="dd" name="date[Day]">
  <option value="1">01</option>
  …
  <option value="31">31</option>
</select>
<select id="mm" name="date[Month]">
  <option value="01">Jan</option>
  …
  <option value="12">Dec</option>
</select>
<select id="yy" name="date[Year]">
  <option value="1970">1970</option>
  …
  <option selected="selected" value="2012">2012</option>
</select>

Hint: Set the time="2011-05-17" parameter to have that date selected.
