Dateadd and Dynamic SQL

Hi!
I am trying to pass two variables @.date and @.days in the DATEADD
function but getting syntax error message saying "Syntax error
converting the varchar value 'select dateadd(day, ' to a column of data
type int.". I think I am not using the correct syntax. Can you please
help in correcting it?
Thanks,
declare @.date datetime
declare @.days int
set @.date = '5/19/2005'
set @.days = 60
declare @.S varchar(100)
-- hard coded works
--set @.S = 'select dateadd(day, 60,'''+ convert(varchar(10), @.date, 110)
+ ''')'
set @.S = 'select dateadd(day, ' + @.days + ','' + '''+
convert(varchar(10), @.date, 110) + ''')'
print @.S

Anyway the code below works
declare @.date datetime
declare @.days int
set @.date = '5/19/2005'
set @.days = 60
declare @.S varchar(100)
select @.S = dateadd(day, @.days ,convert(varchar(10), @.date, 110) )
print @.S

set @.S = 'select dateadd(day, ' + ltrim(@.days) + ', @.date)'
