Help w/ jQuery Countdown Date Syntax

I'm using the jQuery Countdown plug-in to display a countdown on my site. Here is the plug-in:

http://www.keith-wood.name/countdown.html

I'm having trouble setting the "until"/countdown date. I need it to be exactly 24 hours after a specified date. This specified date includes year, month, day, hour, and second. Is this possible?

Here's the reference page:

http://www.keith-wood.name/countdownRef.html

The parameter in question is the "until" parameter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

After some testing, it looks like I can do this:

Code:

$(SELECTOR).countdown({
	until: new Date(2013, 3-1, 9+1, 7, 24, 49),
	format: 'HMS',
	compact: true
});

I was concerned that I couldn't just add "+1" to the day field. But I tested with adding a day to 12/31 and it still worked. Is this correct?

Thank you again.
