Creating redirect link with calculated parameters - html

Question

I am using the following code to redirect visitors on my website:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://mylink.com">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://mylink.com"
</script>
I would like to add dates to the link so that the link becomes this:
"http://mylink.com/startdate=2016-01-09;enddate=2016-02-09"
I would also like to set the startdate parameter set to tomorrow's date and enddate parameter to be calculated based on the startdate value.
Thanks in advance!

Although JavaScript is not tagged in your question, I would do something like this:
function formatDate(date) {
var days = date.getDate();
var months = date.getMonth() + 1;
var fixedDays = (days < 10)? ("0" + days) : days;
var fixedMonths = (months < 10)? ("0" + months) : months;
var result = (1900 + date.getYear()) + "-"
+ fixedMonths + "-" + fixedDays;
return result;
}
function createLink(baseUrl, daysExpiration) {
var tomorrow = new Date();
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);
var expire = tomorrow;
expire.setDate(expire.getDate() + daysExpiration);
var result = baseUrl +
"/startdate=" + formatDate(tomorrow) +
";enddate=" + formatDate(expire);
return result;
}
var link = createLink("www.ex.com", 30);
window.location = link;
Here's a JSFiddle.
