JavaScript todays date + x, bad practice?

I'm currently working on a project that makes heavy use of dates.

Is there anything inherently wrong with doing this:

var TodayPlusSeven = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7));

I'm not an expert with JavaScript, but this seems to work. I'm not sure of the negative effects that doing something like this can have.

Thanks.

In your current code you create 3 Date objects in the process. This is not necessary. You could just update one object to the respective day:

var TodayPlusSeven = new Date();
TodayPlusSeven.setDate( TodayPlusSeven.getDate() + 7 );
