Can someone guide me on on this requirement?

Here is one of the way you can approach:
Create a Roll-Up Summary field on account that counts the number of Opportunity Detail records.
You can then add a validation rule that has criteria that gives an error when the count is greater than or eqaul to 3.
The error message is a little ugly and it doesn't prevent them from actually typing in the data.
But if you want to throw an error on click of new button then you need to go for some apex coding(Over riding the new button with apex) or trigger.
Let me know if it resolves your problem

This is ok. But it becomes tricky, when you read second part of my query. Each day, I can create at max 3 child records. Roll up summary field will continue to add.
Thanks,
Manish.
My Bad!! Okie so we have to go with the trigger in this case, because its not possible via points and click
write a before trigger on Opportunity
And have an soql query something like : [Select id from opportunity where CreatedDate =: System.TODAY() - which will tell you all those records which have been created today .
Also u can retrieve the opportunity records count which are associated to a particular account .(Again soql query)
Now an if condition which checks no.of records and no.of records created today.
If the list.size = 3 , then by making use of add.error method, throw an error.
Let me know if it resolves your problem.
