Javascript issue with TimeZone offset

I am having issues with this javascript code, it is supposed to provide DST (daylight saving time) offset but for some reason it is giving wrong numbers:

I am in Chile. In here, until year 2014 we had the following DST:
In Winter we have GMT -3 (May, Jun, Jul and August)
In Summer we have GMT -4 (Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb and March)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
    <title>DST JRPC</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    

    function FindDstSwitchDate()
 {

			var ene = new Date(2013,01,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var feb = new Date(2013,02,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var mar = new Date(2013,03,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var abr = new Date(2013,04,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var may = new Date(2013,05,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var jun = new Date(2013,06,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var jul = new Date(2013,07,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var ago = new Date(2013,08,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var sep = new Date(2013,09,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var oct = new Date(2013,10,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var nov = new Date(2013,11,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			var dic = new Date(2013,12,01,12,10,14).getTimezoneOffset()/60;
			

		return " Jan " + ene + 
		"<br> Feb " + feb + 
		"<br> Mar " + mar +
		"<br> Apr " + abr + 
		"<br> May " + may + 
		"<br> Jun " + jun + 
		"<br> Jul " + jul + 
		"<br> Aug " + ago + 
		"<br> Sep " + sep + 
		"<br> Oct " + oct + 
		"<br> Nov " + nov + 
		"<br> Dec " + dic;

    }

    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            document.write("Current date/time: " + new Date() + "<br />");
            document.write(FindDstSwitchDate());
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Does your code work for current and future dates but not dates before 2014?
