It depends on who you are asking.
If you're asking old people, it's not polite to say "你几岁了?". Instead it's better to say "您多大年纪了?" or "您高寿?".
If you're asking children, I think "你几岁了?" and "你多大了?" are both OK.
As for adults or teenagers, I think "你多大了?" is better.
So my opinion is that "你几岁了?" should only used with children.

Polite way would be : 請問你几岁?
