Current Date plus number of days script

Question

Hi All,
I have a form I am building which has a date field (currently setup to specifiy todays date on load).  There is a field that slects number of days until a billing cycle (currently 0 through 13 days).
I need to setup a script that takes todays date, adds the number of days from the 0-13 result and gives a result of a date (0-13 days from today for example).
Any thoughts on how I might do this?  Very new to JS.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

here is an example of what I have used:
var f = this.getField("BILLINGCYCLEDATE");
var g1 = this.getField("DAYS");
var g = g1.value
var today = new Date();
var add = d1.valueOf();
add +=1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * g; 
var future = new Date(add);
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyy", future);
You would want to set this up as a calculation in your BILLINGCYCLEDATE field.  The field DAYS is whatever you have set up as the 0-13 counter.  I set up a simple text box where you input a number.  The field will then calculate X number of days out.   Hope this helps.
