You've no doubt already dismissed this, but just in case-

Depending how accurate you have to be, as long as your dates are all 1970 or
later you could convert the date to a UNIX epoch number, add or subtract
86,400 seconds for each day, and convert back.  I think you'd run afoul of
leap seconds and maybe even leap years, but maybe for your purpose you don't
care?  Just a thought.
