Couldn't match expected type `Integer' against inferred type `Int'    In the first argument of `fromGregorian', namely `y'    In the expression: fromGregorian y m d    In the definition of `it': it = fromGregorian y m d

fromGregorian is expecting an Integer for y, and you gave it an Int. You just need to convert; fromIntegral works fine for this. fromGregorian (fromIntegral y) m d
