Dynamics crm has provided on change event of a field here Attribute OnChange Event (Client API reference) you can find info about it.

Steps I would perform:

1. Add onchange event for field on which you want it to fire.
2. Then I would add javascript for the onchange of field
3. In that Javascript I will use Dynamics crm Webapi to retrieve data from Account Xrm.WebApi (Client API reference)
4. Once I get the data I would set that in those field where needed on from setValue (Client API reference)
