In org-mode, I know how to create a todo and use the timestamp so that it is scheduled for today. How do I schedule it for tomorrow? Unfortunately I don’t know Elisp and don’t have time right now to learn it. Here is my .emacs file:

 (setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "Agenda Todo" entry
     (file+headline "c:/Org/agenda.org" "Agenda")
     "\n\n** TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: <%<%Y-%m-%d %a>>" 
     :empty-lines 1)

I would need to replace the %m-%d %a with a value incremented by one day.

    Working off Juancho’s answer* I was able to come up with a valid timestamp.

    The following will provide an org-created timestamp.

    "[...]SCHEDULED: %(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil t \"+1d\"))" 
    

    org-read-date generates a date and +1d shifts it one day in the future. nil t tells it to not include HH:MM time and to convert the date into an internal TIME representation.

    org-insert-time-stamp takes TIME and converts it to a timestamp using the normal org-mode format (including weekday abbreviation)

    *The answer does not work because
    <%(org-read-date nil nil \"+1d\")>"
    results in
    <YYYY-MM-DD>


    Update

    A timestamp of is now valid in Org mode (it was added to allow for entering timestamps from outside org-mode where they would not automatically be able to calculate the day of the week I believe).

    Therefore Juancho’s answer would work as well.
