Hi,

When you say it doesn't set it - what do you mean. Do you get a null value or an error in the debug console.

Check the data type of the attribute is compatible with the year value.

Check that you have the correct attribute logical name.

Check whether the below variable has value in the debugging mode.
var year = dateFieldValue.getFullYear();

probably the field name is not new_birthyear, check the field name that should store the year part

I assume the new_birthyear is string type and you have published all customization.

Can you point the year to month and see if the value is getting filled :

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_birthmonth").setValue(year.toString());

Thanks,
