just like that:

What if? :D

What is your aim, after all?

<body onload="SetToToday('FirstSelect'); SetToToday('SecondSelect');">

name the new drop down as 'SecondSelectDay', 'SecondSelectMonth', 'SecondSelectYear'...

and change the onchange call for each drop down...
<SELECT name="SecondSelectMonth" onchange="ChangeOptionDays('SecondSelect')">

do the same for third, fourth, fifth date fields...

Similarly to Nischumacher's solution, except that a number is used inside the name instead of 'first', 'second', etc. This allows a loop to be used...
<script type="text/javascript">
function setDateFields()
{
for(var index=0; index<5; index++) // Assuming you have 5 sets of date lists
{
SetToToday('Select'+index);
}
}
function setToToday(dateField)
{
// Enter your code from site here...
}
window.onload=setDateFields;
</script>

There's just a few changes that you would need to be aware of doing it this way....

Variable names cannot begin with numbers; hense I started the names with 'Select' and added the numbers to the second position. Thus the drop-down lists get named: 'Select1Day', 'Select1Month', and 'Select1Year' respectively.
Because of the new naming styles, the onchange would get changed to:
onchange="ChangeOptionDays('Select1')"
I've also put the page's onload inside the <script> tags (which you could place inside the <head> of your page). Thus you won't call onload="..." inside the <body>.
