Column filtering by date older or date newer

I've built a column filter that filters a column to find rows dated "yesterday", "today", or "tomorrow", based on a select element. Having done that, I now see that it would also be useful to be able to filter for dates older than yesterday and newer than tomorrow. However, I don't see any simple way to extend what I've built to accommodate an open-ended date range as that would require.

I have the following code to define the select options:

            // Set up comparison dates for filtering the dueDate column
            var today = new Date();
            var yesterday = moment(today).add(-1,'days');
            yesterday = yesterday._d.toISOString().substring(0,10);
            var tomorrow = moment(today).add(1,'days');
            tomorrow = tomorrow._d.toISOString().substring(0,10);
            today = today.toISOString().substring(0,10);

And the following code implements the column filter (for columns with className="dFilter"):

            // Populate the dueDate column filter
            this.api().columns('.dFilter').every( function () {
                var column = this;
                var that = this;
                var select = $('<select><option value="">All</option>
                                           <option value="'+yesterday+'">Yesterday</option>
                                           <option value="'+today+'">Today</option>
                                           <option value="'+tomorrow+'">Tomorrow</option></select>')
                    .appendTo( $(column.header()) )
                    .on( 'change', function() {
                        that
                            .search ($(this).val() )
                            .draw();
                    } );
                    column
                        .cache( 'search' )
                        .sort()
                        .unique()
                        .each( function() {
                        } );
            } );

This works great for what it does, and is quite similar to other column filters I use, but it looks like a dead-end with regard to being extensible in the way I want. Is there a way to extend this scheme, or do I need to abandon this and take a completely different approach?

Thanks,
Tom
