Default 14-3 wire OK for fan/light fixtures?

Hello all!

Is 14-3 wire OK for wiring a ceiling fan/light fixture's 3-way
switches? My setup is going to be something like this:

http://www.the-home-improvement-web....ch-option4.htm

I have 12-2 running to the fixture, and was hoping to use 14-3 for
running to the switches. I figure 14 gauge can handle 15 amps and I
won't be needing more than a couple of amps to run the fan. Do I need
the 12-3, or can I use the 14-3?

Thanks!
