Dual classing is dead. Since 3rd edition multiclassing has worked differently than previous iterations of the game. You can select a new class whenever you level up. In 3/3.5 edition, multiclassing was designed as such that it was expected that characters would choose multiple classes. 5th is more limited (but makes designing a character more interesting in my opinion). Though you can select any class that you meet the stat requirements for, selecting a new class without proper consideration will make you much weaker in the long run. With a few small exceptions, choosing three classes is not advisable, and the level cap probably won’t be high enough to make the few triple class builds viable.
If you want a character who can do lots of different things, use subclasses, feats, and toe dipping (choosing just a few levels in one class while primarily leveling another) to achieve this. Or just play a bard. In all honesty, you are probably just better off picking a narrower profile of abilities to specialize in. If you make a character with a schizophrenic portfolio you will just be mediocre at everything.
