momentJS date string add 5 days
UPDATED: January 19, 2016
As of moment 2.8.4 - use .add(5, 'd') (or .add(5, 'days')) instead of .add('d', 5)
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add(5, 'days');Thanks @Bala for the information.

This is what you'd have to do to get that format.
startdate = "20.03.2014";var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add('days', 5);var day = new_date.format('DD');var month = new_date.format('MM');var year = new_date.format('YYYY');alert(day + '.' + month + '.' + year);ORIGINAL: March 20, 2014
You're not telling it how/what unit to add. Use -
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add('days', 5);
moment(moment('2015/04/09 16:00:00').add(7, 'd').format('YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss'))has to format and then convert to moment again.
The function add() returns the old date, but changes the original date :)
startdate = "20.03.2014";var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD.MM.YYYY");new_date.add(5, 'days');alert(new_date);
