Try using moment library.

var date = moment('10:59:02 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A')
    .add(2, 'minutes')
    .format("hh:mm:ss");
console.log(date);

Actually, you need to convert the time/date in Unix timestamp then you can add the minutes and then again pass that timestamp in Date constructor. you get the time as you needed.

var unixTimestamp = Math.round(new Date("2019-05-22 15:10:00").getTime()/1000); // convert to unixtimestamp
console.log(unixTimestamp);

unixTimestamp += 120 // added 2 min
date = new Date(unixTimestamp * 1000); // again convert to date
console.log(date); // got your solution.
