Php does have a pretty OOP Api to deal with date and time.

This will create a \DateTime instance using as reference the 25 May 2015 and then you can call the modify method on that instance to add 2 days.

$date = new \DateTime('2015-05-25');

$date->modify('+2 day');

echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

In PHP 5 you can also use D

  <?php
   $date = date_create('2015-05-16');
   date_add($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('2 days'));
   echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');
  ?>

OR 

   <?php
     $date = new DateTime('2015-05-16');
     $date->add(new DateInterval('2 days'));
     echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
    ?>

Missed the + - strtotime('2 days', $TimeStamp); . Add the + to + 2 days.

Use date & strtotime for this - You can try this - 

echo date('d-m-Y',strtotime(' + 2 day', strtotime('2015-05-16')));

$Timestamp & $TimeStamp are not same(may be typo). For your code - 

$Timestamp = strtotime(date('Y-m-d'));
$TotalTimeStamp = strtotime('+ 2 days', $Timestamp);
echo date('d-m-Y', $TotalTimeStamp);

You can also just add seconds to your timestamp if you have a timestamp ready: 

$NewDateStamp = $Timestamp + (60*60*24 * 2);

In the above, sec * min * hours = day -- or 86400 seconds. * 2 = 2 days.
