I have an ssrs 2010 report that has a date icon on 2 of the parameters that are dates that runs on an ssrs 2012 report server.
The date icon works is displayed when the ssrs 2010 report is accessed by the current version of Mozilla Firefox.
However when the report is accessed by Microsoft Edge or Chrome, the date icon is not displayed. The what is displayed in the default date/time parameter.
Thus can you tell me what I can do to make the date icon on the date parameters show when Microsoft Edge or Chrome?

In Edge, you can experiment with different document compatibility models. Not sure about chrome as we block everything google at work.

SSRS team and the Windows and IE people are in two totally disconnected worlds. Every now and then a Windows patch would break something in reports, mostly something trivial like dropdown list or some button in the strangest way.

In cold revenge SSRS did something nasty in SQL 2016 - they made design changes so drastic that some report controls stopped working in IE/Edge. I do not have inside knowledge but that's what IE support and I have observed in the page source of my reports. This is not a joke. I have two serious tickets with SSRS and IE teams that have remained open since Oct 2017. Each side is blaming the other. They have wasted ample of my otherwise quiet time with no solution in sight. How bad? SSRS team asked me to use Firefox instead of IE, which we refused. IE team's view is that SSRS people broke their working product and they should be handling my complaint. For this reason some of my instances are stuck with SQL 2014.

I also suggest that you open a ticket with SSRS team first and they might find you a fix in a jiffy, given the amount of tickets they already have. Good luck.

You mentioned the following, "In Edge, you can experiment with different document compatibility models". Can you tell me what you are referring to ? Also can you tell me and/or point me to locations that will tell me how to work with different document compatibility models? I would like directions on how to work with the different compatibility models.

We got rid of Edge from our network so I can't show you a screenshot.

Here is an article explaining the compatibility view mode:
Understanding the Compatibility view list

Here is a screenshot showing you how to experiment with different versions of IE.

How about if I want to check the compatibility mode for Firefox? A second choice is to check compatibility mode for Chrome browser?

Sorry but we do not have either of those.
