The way you have the variables mapped for the Birthday field creates a concatenated value. (e.g. 51)

 

Add a birthday field
To create a birthday campaign, you'll first need contact birthday information in a Mailchimp Birthday field.
This is an audience field where you'll store the dates in MM/DD (Month/Day) format.
A regular date field in MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year) format won't work with this type of automation.

You need to format the data sent to Mailchimp in this format.

If you are still having issues, then post updated screenshots with how your Zap step is configured once updated.
