Yup.
>From a footnote in 8.1 Timestamps sections of Org manual:

       (1) The Org date format is inspired by the standard ISO 8601
    date/time format.  To use an alternative format, see *note Custom time
    format::.  The day name is optional when you type the date yourself.
    However, any date inserted or modified by Org adds that day name, for
    reading convenience.

Inserting timestamp for today's date is as easy as C-c . <RET>
Choosing tomorrow is just C-c . + <RET>
Choosing next week is C-c . +w <RET>
See 8.2.1 The date/time prompt

Also, you can copy the whole heading shifting time in its timestamps.
See org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift (C-c C-x c)

Depending on your preference, you may want to customize
org-refile-use-outline-path and org-outline-path-complete-in-steps.

In particular, changing org-outline-path-complete-in-steps to nil works
best with fuzzy completion backends like helm/ivy/orderless.
