'on Sunday on May 17th in 2013'

"Let's meet on Sunday on May 17th in 2013." To native English speakers, each of them modifies the one in front or you just say the dates each without modifying any of the dates and the day? Thank you for listening to my questions and helping me as usual. And one more thing!! Is there a meaning difference between 'saying the dates each' and 'saying each of the dates'. I think meaning of the two is the same. What do you think? Thank you again.

This is the native: Let's meet on Sunday, May 17th, 2013 . Each part is separate, to my mind. (X) 'saying the dates each' -- No good.
