put output into a variable
The following works if I type it in a shell window. But how do I get the result into a variable?
date -j -v+1m -f "%a %b %d %T %Z %Y" "`date`" "+%s"

You can use command substitution $(..) and capture the output in a variable
var=$(date -j -v+1m -f "%a %b %d %T %Z %Y" "`date`" "+%s")
echo $var
Note: Not tested and as stated in the comments, the syntax may vary.
