Officially, neither the birthday is revealed, nor has it really played a role in the plot.

However, Aoyama said in an interview, that there is an "obstacle" preventing him from revealing Ran's birth date, but since the birthday hasn't passed Ran is 16 right now"

The interview, quoted from [Detective Conan World's forum](http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/346-birthdays/?do=findComment&comment=288267):
