They didn't, they sent those 3 to get Rhaegar. He knew Lyanna was with his child, and he had them stay with her, to protect the royal family.

That's what I assumed. What I have also always assumed was that they knew Ned was in league with Robert so it made sense as to why they would fight Ned. Especially if Lyanna was in such a state that she was dying in childbirth and unable to relay information that would say otherwise.

ETA: Something else as well, Rhaegar may have known he would possibly die at the Trident as he knew that there was the prophecy of the Prince that Was Promised (and obviously believed in it strongly). So he sent his Kingsguard to protect the next in line.
