Note #1:
The dates for the "present" day events is highly subjective. Telling how much time has passed internally during SM TV is not an easy task, though a minimum of 2 - 3 years seem to have passed.

Note #2:
The birth dates and discovery dates for the Younger Senshi are adjustable if they interfere with a good story. Nothing is set in stone until it's been included in a released story, and even then revisions can happen if details are important enough.
