so I have written some code that will allow someone to enter their order date and will return expected printing and delivery dates.
Only issue is its splitting out MM/DD/YYYY. Any help to get this working is much appreciated.

function myfunction() {
var future = new Date(document.getElementById("datepicker").value); // get today date
future.setDate(future.getDate() + 7); // add 7 days
var finalDate = future.getFullYear() + '-' + ((future.getMonth() + 1) < 10 ? '0' : '') + (future.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + future.getDate();
var future2 = new Date(document.getElementById("datepicker").value);
future2.setDate(future2.getDate() + 10); // add 7 days
var finalDate2 = future.getFullYear() + '-' + ((future2.getMonth() + 1) < 10 ? '0' : '') + (future2.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + future2.getDate();
alert('Your order will be printed on ' + finalDate + '\nYou should recieve your order ' + finalDate2);
}

I'm edited in date format on your code: var finalDate
and var finalDate2
. Because in the code make a format date in your jquery.
In code below will changed format date to DD/MM/YYYY
So I changed to this code:
var finalDate = future.getDate() +'-'+ ((future.getMonth() + 1) < 10 ? '0' : '') + (future.getMonth() + 1) +'-'+future.getFullYear();
var finalDate2 = future2.getDate() +'-'+ ((future2.getMonth() + 1) < 10 ? '0' : '') + (future2.getMonth() + 1) +'-'+ future.getFullYear();
Then will get output like this

Changed
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
To
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'
});
I have tried it but now bringing up a new issue the date picker is picking a date in DD/MM/YYYY but the output is again DD/MM/YYYY but when it adds to the date it as its as if its MM/DD/YYYY
@ChrisJamesFewster Edit in
$("#datepicker")
for changed in input format, can I give an example?@ChrisJamesFewster check my update post for changed input format
