You could do this:

let thirtyMinutes = 30 * 60 * 1000; // convert 30 minutes to milliseconds
let date1 = new Date();
let date2 = new Date(date1.getTime() + thirtyMinutes);
console.log(date1);
console.log(date2);

Use an existing library known to handle the quirks involved in dealing with time calculations. My current favorite is moment.js.

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.13.0/moment.js"></script>
<script>
 var now = moment(); // get "now"
 console.log(now.toDate()); // show original date
 var thirty = moment(now).add(30,"minutes"); // clone "now" object and add 30 minutes, taking into account weirdness like crossing DST boundries or leap-days, -minutes, -seconds.
 console.log(thirty.toDate()); // show new date
</script>

Here is the ES6 version:

let getTimeAfter30Mins = () => {
  let timeAfter30Mins = new Date();
  timeAfter30Mins = new Date(timeAfter30Mins.setMinutes(timeAfter30Mins.getMinutes() + 30));
};

Call it like:

getTimeAfter30Mins();

This is what I do which seems to work quite well:

Date.prototype.addMinutes = function(minutes) {
    var copiedDate = new Date(this.getTime());
    return new Date(copiedDate.getTime() + minutes * 60000);
}

Then you can just call this like this:

var now = new Date();
console.log(now.addMinutes(50));

Maybe something like this?

var d = new Date();
var v = new Date();
v.setMinutes(d.getMinutes()+30);

console.log(v)

I always create 7 functions, to work with date in JS: addSeconds, addMinutes, addHours, addDays, addWeeks, addMonths, addYears.

You can see an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/tiagoajacobi/YHA8x/

How to use:

var now = new Date();
console.log(now.addMinutes(30));
console.log(now.addWeeks(3));

This are the functions:

        Date.prototype.addSeconds = function(seconds) {
            this.setSeconds(this.getSeconds() + seconds);
            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addMinutes = function(minutes) {
            this.setMinutes(this.getMinutes() + minutes);
            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addHours = function(hours) {
            this.setHours(this.getHours() + hours);
            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {
            this.setDate(this.getDate() + days);
            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addWeeks = function(weeks) {
            this.addDays(weeks*7);
            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addMonths = function (months) {
            var dt = this.getDate();

            this.setMonth(this.getMonth() + months);
            var currDt = this.getDate();

            if (dt !== currDt) {  
                this.addDays(-currDt);
            }

            return this;
        };

        Date.prototype.addYears = function(years) {
            var dt = this.getDate();

            this.setFullYear(this.getFullYear() + years);

            var currDt = this.getDate();

            if (dt !== currDt) {  
                this.addDays(-currDt);
            }

            return this;
        };

var d1 = new Date ();
var d2 = new Date ( d1 );
d2.setMinutes ( d1.getMinutes() + 30 );
alert ( d2 );
