Selecting Date on a Page using selenium Webdriver - selenium

Question

This is the website I am testing https://www.sydneyairport.com.au/go/car-parking.aspx , I am almost done , but have been stuck in a single issue .
I have selected "date and time" from entry-date section but cannot select "date and time" from exit-date section.
I am clueless why I am not able to it since its the same structure for both and I was able to do it for entry-date ,I don't understand what changes for exit date section . I am new to selenium and will appreciate if anybody helps me out .
This is what I have written to select date and time in entry date section .
public void selectDate(WebDriver driver, String fromDate, String toDate) {
// selects from date
WebElement dateButton = driver.findElement(By.id("period_picker_0"));
dateButton.click();
WebElement datepicker = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='period_picker_days']/table/tbody/tr/td[1]"));
selectDate(datepicker, fromDate);
WebElement timeBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='period_picker_work']/div[2]/input"));
timeBox.sendKeys("");
WebElement time = driver
.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='timepicker_box_start']/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[13]"));
time.click();
// Selects to date
WebElement dateButton2 = driver.findElement(By.id("period_picker_1"));
dateButton2.click();
// dateButton.click();
WebElement datepicker2 = driver
.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='period_picker_days']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]"));
selectDate(datepicker2, toDate);
WebElement timeBoxEnd = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='period_picker_work']/div[2]/input"));
timeBoxEnd.sendKeys("");
WebElement timeEnd = driver
.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='timepicker_box_end']/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[13]"));
timeEnd.click();
}
public int selectDate(WebElement datepicker, String date) {
int ele = 0;
List<WebElement> rows_table = datepicker.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
int rows_count = rows_table.size();
for (int row = 0; row < rows_count; row++) {
// To locate columns(cells) of that specific row.
List<WebElement> Columns_row = rows_table.get(row).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
// To calculate no of columns(cells) In that specific row.
int columns_count = Columns_row.size();
// Loop will execute till the last cell of that specific row.
for (int column = 0; column < columns_count; column++) {
// To retrieve text from that specific cell.
if (Columns_row.get(column).getText().equals(date)) {
ele = column;
Columns_row.get(column).click();
}
}
}
return ele;
}

I did lot of work for this code, You are using tr and td. I would suggest there is no need of it.
See the code I'm using, i am able to select both date easily. Hope this help you..
driver.get("https://www.sydneyairport.com.au/go/car-parking.aspx");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='period_picker_0']")).click();
Actions a = new Actions(driver);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,20);
WebElement entrydate= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='body']/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/tr[5]/td[5]"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(".//*[#id='body']/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/tr[5]/td[5]")));
a.moveToElement(entrydate).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
entrydate.click();
WebElement entrytime= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='timepicker_box_start']/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[15]"));
a.moveToElement(entrytime).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
entrytime.click();
WebElement exitdate= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='body']/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/tr[6]/td[5]"));
a.moveToElement(exitdate).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
exitdate.click();
WebElement exittime= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='timepicker_box_end']/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[15]"));
a.moveToElement(exittime).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
exittime.click();
