var currentday = new Date();
var nextDay = new Date();
nextDay.setDate(currentday.getDate() + 4);

alert(nextDay.setDate(currentday.getDate() + 4)); returns "1333191873209", how to convert it into Mar 31 2012 format. Please help me. Thanks – saran Mar 27 '12 at 11:05
@saran for date formatting, have a look at [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1056728/formatting-a-date-in-javascript). There is no built in way to format a date if you need the day & month names. – Craig Mar 27 '12 at 11:44
@saran The quick and dirty for what you want is `var months = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"); alert(months[nextDay.getMonth()] + " " + nextDay.getDate() + " " + nextDay.getFullYear());` – Craig Mar 27 '12 at 12:53

//Set number of days you want to compute to
var days=4;

//Get current date or whatever date you want to compute from
var currentDate=new Date();

var nDaysFromNow=new Date();
nDaysFromNow.setDate(currentDate.getDate()+days);

You can add days using the getDate() function like so:

var someDate = new Date();
someDate = someDate.getDate() + 3;

See code below.. Hope it helps

var days = 4;
var next = new Date((new Date).getTime() +  ((1000*3600*24) *days));
