Hello Julietta,
Combination of majors depends on the university policies. Most universties offer a single major and double majors for the interdisciplinary fields. I haven't heard of three majors as it is quite draining and might consume most of your time and render your educational life messy.
However, if your institutions offer three majors combined and you are comfortable, here are some tips to help you excel.
1. Self reflection: Find out what are your strength snd weakness, to help you know what exactly you might want if given a chance to do the three majors in the faculty.
2.Research: Find out what the institutions offer, and the benefits of combining the majors in your future career.
3. Do the introductory courses; This will give you an overview of what is entailed in the course.
4. Seek advise from academic supervisors in your relevant fields, to get more precise overview for the course as they have experience on such.
Generally, pursuing majors could be quite demanding in your educational life and it is good to know the challenges associated such as financial constraints, time shortage, failure due to work loads, and burnouts.
I could advise you to take a major course and other minors in related disclipine, to excel academically without much strains.

It is important to start thinking about what career you would be interested in, and match your college major to that choice. Most colleges have a career services department, they can help you complete assessments that may give you some career options based on your interests and talents. Also, if you're still in high school, your guidance or college counselor may be able to help you with this as well. Once you have some careers in mind, you can start thinking about a major that would align. Also, keep in mind, many students choose to go into the workforce by getting training in a technical area, such as HVAC, plumbing, welding, construction, or a medical type certificate.

Yes, you can do a double major, if you wish. But, definitely plan it out with an academic advisor.
You also have the option of doing a major and a minor. Which could take less time than a double major.
