In Right Or Wrong, God Judge Me: The Writings of John Wilkes Booth the editors deduce that Booth probably purchased the datebook from stationer James M. Crawford in January 1864 in St. Louis. That would have given Booth roughly 15 months to fiddle around with the diary's pages before the time he was on the run. Mostly I think he tore out pages to write notes on. Why do you assume all the changes were made in April 1865?
