There are many choices...
Here's a few:
921 and 543
912 and 534
831 and 453
822 and 444
813 and 435
741 and 363
etc.
There must be some constraints you forgot to mention?

831 and 453
I just took the highest number I could think of with all three parts adding up to 12 and then I subtracted 378 from that and I came up with 453 which also ads up to 12.
