You can do it by placing the following code under Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts (NOT inside a function):

 

var f1 = this.getField("Date1");
var f2 = this.getField("Date2");
var d1 = new Date();
d1.setMonth(d1.getMonth()+2);
f1.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d1);
d1.setFullYear(d1.getFullYear()+1);
f2.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d1);

Adjust the field names and date pattern as needed.
