Align shortcut and text box in BS 3

Question

I am trying to align the shortcut and textbox with Bootstrap 3

This does not work because the "Start Date" ends. I also tried horizontally, but did not help me.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 input-group">
            <label class="active">Start Date</label>    
            <input type="text" class="form-control">
    </div>
       <div class="col-xs-3">
     End Date  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-3">                      
      </div>
      <div class="col-xs-6">
     Project URL <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-6">
  </div>  
</div>

Can anybody help me? Thanks, Kailash

use a form tag with class "form-horizontal" to wrap your content -> try it : 

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
  <div class="form-group">
   <label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
  <div class="col-sm-10">
   <input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
   </div>
  </div>

</form>
