I know that the topic is way too old. But I am pretty sure that there are some developpers who still need this, so I made this simple script for you. I hope you enjoy it!

Hello back, It's 2020 and I've added some modification hope it will help a lot better now!

function strtotime(date, addTime){
  let generatedTime=date.getTime();
  if(addTime.seconds) generatedTime+=1000*addTime.seconds; //check for additional seconds 
  if(addTime.minutes) generatedTime+=1000*60*addTime.minutes;//check for additional minutes 
  if(addTime.hours) generatedTime+=1000*60*60*addTime.hours;//check for additional hours 
  return new Date(generatedTime);
}

Date.prototype.strtotime = function(addTime){
  return strtotime(new Date(), addTime); 
}

let futureDate = new Date().strtotime({
    hours: 16, //Adding one hour
    minutes: 45, //Adding fourty five minutes
    seconds: 0 //Adding 0 seconds return to not adding any second so  we can remove it.
});

Travel to the future
