Try without the semicolon and without the return.

onsubmit="return validateForm(this,arrFormValidation) && ValidateFormDate();"


A compound statement like this will return true only if both items are true.  Consider these examples:

return true && true;  // returns true
return false && whatever; // parser doesn't even evaluate "whatever", it just returns false.
