You would. The error is:

ERROR: operator does not exist: timestamp without time zone >= integer

Change this:

BETWEEN

' || date_start || '

AND

' || date_end || '

to

BETWEEN

date_start::text

AND

date_end::text

Or change the argument types to text and then:

BETWEEN

date_start

AND

date_end

In either case you will have your original query.
