neutral  Fernando Muela Sopeña: De acuerdo con la segunda frase, pero no con la primera. Según Seco este uso está influido por el inglés, y conviene evitarlo en favor de la claridad y la exactitud. "En" significaría "durante" y "dentro de", "al cabo de".

his birthday is in three days.
...el cumpleaños de XX es dentro de tres días.


Explanation:
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.
