The basic field is an IF field. You have to identify your month field in some way. I would suggest using either Mapped Content Controls or legacy form fields for your drop-down. Content Controls and legacy fields should not be used in the same document, you should choose one or the other.
The advantage of the legacy controls is that you can check the "calculate on exit" box in properties and any IF fields based on that control will update automatically when the user tabs out of the control. The disadvantage is that the document must be protected for "filling in forms" which disables ability to use many other Word features.

Yes I will have field for each parameter, one for day, one for month and one for year
So it will be
IF the mnoth is 1(january) then paste this content here at this bookmark
Yes I just want to use form to input data......
lets say 7fields and I will just input it and word will calculate everything and create document.....
But I want to definately hide the form field from end user....is that possible
he must not know content was generate like that
What do you mean by locking the word doc?
I need to edit it, but the end user not, because I will save it as PDF anyways, so he will be able to read it only
