Step 1: FIELD B1 equals a date + 14
Step 2: FIELD B1 needs to be formatted to add back preceding zeros

I have successfully created each step but cannot combine them in one field.

B1=A1+14 and =CONCATENATE(TEXT(MONTH(B1),"00")&"/",TEXT(DAY(B1)&"/","00"),YEAR(B1))

I need to figure out how to combine these two formulas, the second formula uses the RESULT from the first.

EXCEL 2010

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Why do you need Concatenate? If B1 contains a date:

=TEXT(B1,"mm/dd/yyyy")

or

=TEXT(A1+14,"mm/dd/yyyy")
if you are trying to get rid of the formula in B1.

or you could just do:
=A1+14
and format the cells as mm/dd/yyyy
