Changing countdown duration

I use this countdown on my website, here

You can view the script here (Too large to post)

This is the code in the head section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/jquery.countdown.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            var austDay = new Date();
            austDay = new Date(austDay.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26);
            $('.countdown-container').countdown({until: austDay});
            $('#year').text(austDay.getFullYear());
        });
    </script>

I want to be able to change the countdown duration, hopefully to what ever time I want.

If anyone could lend an insight then that would be fantastic.

I had the same questions but Hussein's explanation help me solve it.

For example if you want to countdown to 25.10.2017 the code should be

Date(CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1, 10 - 1, 25);

where

CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1 - it's 2017 (actual year + 1)

10 - 1 - it's the month

25 - it's the day

Edit:

var CommingDate = new Date(); 
CommingDate= new Date(CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26);

explanation

Date(CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26); means that you want to get the current year an increase it by 1

Date(CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26);

the first number will go forwards a month , so if you were to do 2 - 1 the month will be Feb

but if you were to do something like 1 - 1 this will result in getting the current month Date(CommingDate.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26); the last number 26 will be the day that you want
