Answer 1

Use Date.setHours(hour,min,sec,millisec) to set the hour default to noon: Date.setHours(11); (view reference)

24 hours after noon on a day is guaranteed to be the next day, though on daylight savings time days it will be one hour off (which doesn't change the result in your script at all).
