    My blog had permalink structure of /%postname/ which I changed to /%year/%month/%day/%postname/ will Google reindex the entire website and remove the old pages??
    Site is pretty big.

    Does it run on WP ? On the latest version ? If yes, it has an inbuilt feature which will 301 the old url to the new one whenever the bot or a human visitor comes to the old one.

    Google will definitely reindex the pages but it will take some time.

    Yes, Google will re-index.

    I suggest you 301 redirect the old links to the new ones.
