You can modify the date and time by adding or subtracting the number of days or hours of your preference.  This can be done by adding {+} or {-} and the number of days or hours to be added or subtracted before d, dd, h, hh, HH, or k in the date and time format. Hours and days can be modified by using up to two digits and three digits respectively.
For instance, d{+24}/MM/yyyy h{-2}:mm:ss
