You should not put your referees' contact details on the resume. You can give them when requested. There is a risk or referee fatigue if they get a call from everyone to whom you have submitted your resume. If you submit them when requested, you have time to coach them specifically to the requirements of the job you are applying for.

You should not put your DOB on a resume either. It should be a short "sales" document on you, your ability and experience.
Referres should be included if applying for an advertised position, not required if canvassing potential employers. Agreed there is no requirement to put your DOB on your resume, however in some instances this may be to your advantage (however small) and it doesn't hurt to incude it.
