Cannot get return right in this date and month method - Android Studio

Question

I have been fiddling around with this method that I created and cannot manage to get it to work.
I either get string cannot be converted to int or require a return, but then I cannot enter the monthString variable in the return statement as it is out of scope of the ordinal method and cannot find the variable.

String ordinal(int day, int month, int year) {
        String[] day1 = new String[]{"th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th"};

        String monthString = ""; //declare here

        switch (day % 100) {
            case 11:
            case 12:
            case 13:
                Log.w(TAG, day + "th");

                switch (month) {
                    case 1:  monthString = "January";
                        break;
                    case 2:  monthString = "February";
                        break;
                    case 3:  monthString = "March";

                        break;
                }
                break; //you're missing this break after the case
        }
        return day + monthString;
    }
