  Well first of all, it's dual, not duel. And all that information can be found in the manuals.

  create new character -> half-elf -> multiclass
  
  This will allow all combinations except the unique choices available to gnomes so feel free to go back and choose gnome to see their options too. From there you can narrow down if your multiclass choice is allowable by any other race.
  
  Any 2 class multiclass choice is available as a dual class as long as alignment and stat restrictions are met. Human is the only race that can dual class and you must have 15 in the initial classes primary stat(s) and 17 in the secondary classes primary stat(s).

  Why is Fighter/Cleric/Thief not available?

  2nd Edition D&D rules. That's not an allowed combination.

  That isn't very logical

  Maybe not, but that's the way it works. I believe the only triple class available is Fighter/Magic User/Thief, and not all races can do that. I think only the Elves can, IIRC.

  Fighter/Mage/Thief and Fighter/Mage/Cleric. Half-Elves can be either. Elves can only be FMT.

  Thanks. I've never been interested in playing a triple class so I've never looked too closely at the options. They just take too long to become effective.

  More like Infinity Engine rule implementation sadly
  
  Same with limiting dual classing to implemented multiclasses...
  
  
  Good overview for the OP:
