Use unix timestamps instead, it will be much easier. You can use the Time library to convert time from/to unix timestamp.
I was doing some reading this morning and came across this interesting post
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=380592.0
and was curious if something like this could help me achieve what I'm trying to do? I have been trying to find something that explains how to use unix timestamps but I'm still a little confused I guess.
