is it Possible to build a Date using Strings(Text Columns)

For example, let's say I have a text Column Called "Day" and another one called "Month"

I was trying to accomplish something like this:

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), Day@row + Month@row)), DAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), Day@row + Month@row)))

Context:

* I'm trying to create a Birthday Reminder, so I want to be able to build a date without the year using 2 different columns, is this possible, It currently

But if I try to build it manually entering the values Day and Month it does work:

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), 5, 9)), DAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), 3, 3)))

any ideas?
