DATEDIF will do what you want of course you will have to additional calculations as it appears you want it broken down by years, months and days. Reminds me of an old COBOL program I used to have students do. Take the number of days assume a year is either 365, 366, or 365.25 days and go from there.

Can subtract dates (does not work with H formats)

DATE1/DMYY = ...
DATE2/DMYY = ...
DAYS/I6 = DATE1 - DATE2 ;

The advantage of this is that it will be translated to SQL for the interface you are using and may give you a big advantage.
