How to add number of days to today’s date?

I need to get tomorrow and X number of days into the future using JavaScript and print in the format MM-DD-YYYY. For example, if I wanted to pass in the following parameters, I would like the start day to be tomorrow of the current date and the end date to be 31 days from now.

startDate: '02-02-2013',
endDate: '03-04-2013',

How can this be done?

Date methods are smart enough to support this: 

var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 10 /*days*/);

The date in this example will be 10 days ahead current date.

This will help

Date.prototype.addDays=function(d) {
   return new Date(this.getTime() + d*86400000); // milliseconds
};
console.log(new Date().addDays(5);

or 

Date.prototype.addDays=function(d) {
   this.setTime(this.getTime() + d*86400000);
   return this;
};
var time=new Date();
time.addDays(5);
console.log(time);
