var ajaxDate = [populate with the date from ajax]
var date = new Date(ajaxDate);
var numberOfDaysToAdd = 1;

date.setDate(someDate.getDate() + numberOfDaysToAdd);

Formatting to d/m/y :

var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var y = date.getFullYear();

var dormattedDate = d + '/'+ m + '/'+ y;

date is not from today, it can be any date and it's inside a var. – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 10:42

The problem is that I'm reciving the date in d/m/y format and I'm unable to sum a day I'm geting crazy – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 11:03
you mean as a string ? – alex Nov 15 '13 at 11:06
yup sorry, i'm reciving it as a string – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 11:11
FYI providing a date to `Date()` in DD/MM/YYYY format will cause an error – Rory McCrossan Nov 15 '13 at 11:14
@Rory i don't think so `var d = new Date(Date.parse("1/1/2013")); /* you get back a Date object */ Date {Tue Jan 01 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0100}` – alex Nov 15 '13 at 11:16
@alex I do: http://jsfiddle.net/j6B2y/ – Rory McCrossan Nov 15 '13 at 11:17
@Mark can you post a date you are getting back – alex Nov 15 '13 at 11:22
@alex it's because the `Date` object constructor expects the format `MM/DD/YYYY` (amongst others). It'll work for dates like `12/01/2013`, although the date will be Dec 1st, not Jan 12th. – Rory McCrossan Nov 15 '13 at 11:25
my thought too locale – alex Nov 15 '13 at 11:27
I'm playing with dates like: 15/11/2013 how to sum one or X days to this date in jquery? is it possible? @alex? – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 11:32
im afraid the short answer is no. you have to convert in the 'backend' and receive it in a standarized way. – alex Nov 15 '13 at 11:35
I was reaching this point and belive me, I can't belive this... but what to do... let's play then... – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 11:36
ok, fixed, and thanks to everybody – Mark Nov 15 '13 at 12:35
