Dentro de tres días es su cumpleaños
Me suena más natural invertir el orden de la frase.

Gracias, Sol. Lamentablemente mi sistema no me permite ponerle la tilde a la "n" ni el acento en "dias".

cumplirá años en tres dias
I would say it like this; the other options sound a bit too "directly translated" to me. good luck, Sabina

...el cumpleaños de XX es dentro de tres días.
En español colombiano nunca usamos la expresión "su cumpleaños", sino el cumpleanos DE... además, utilizamos el presente ES DENTRO DE TRES DÍAS, para referirnos al futuro. Siempre me ha simpatizado esta curiosidad de nuestro idioma... hablar en presente y se entiende en futuro. El hecho es que nunca decimos SU CUMPLEAÑOS SERÁ DENTRO DE TRES DÍAS. Buena suerte para ti desde Medellín.
