Which service are you syncing from?

For instance, my primary email is an MS email. But when I would sync contacts and reminders, birthdays for contacts would be off a few days and not all contacts would sync.

I have since switched to an iCloud email so I know syncing would be correct 99.9% of the time.

Welcome to iMore! Assuming you're using iCloud for your contacts, check out this Apple Support article. It should give you some ideas.
