\markboth takes two arguments (left and right heading).

(preferably in preamble:)
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{\usekomavar{toname}\\Page \thepage\\\usekomavar{date}}{}
or (to use both sides)
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{\usekomavar{toname}}{Page \thepage\\\usekomavar{date}}
However, I'd use scrpage2 instead. Set Document->Settings->Page Format->Page
Style to "default" and put the following in preamble
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ohead{\usekomavar{toname}\\Page \thepage\\\usekomavar{date}}
or:
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ohead{\usekomavar{toname}}
\ihead{Page \thepage\\\usekomavar{date}}
