Frankly speaking I didn't had enough patience and dare to look into what you have written in your code but AFAIU with the description, you can make it work like this by using some OOTB Appian functions and a simple logic.

a!localVariables(
  local!currentMonth: month(ri!requestDate),
  local!currentDay: day(ri!requestDate),
  local!currentYear: year(ri!requestDate),
  local!daysDifference: daysinmonth(local!currentMonth, local!currentYear) - local!currentDay,
  todate(
    adddays(
      todatetime(ri!requestDate),
      a!match(
        value: local!daysDifference,
        equals: 0,
        then: 1,
        equals: 1,
        then: 2,
        default: 0
      )
    )
  )
)

For the longest time I didn't know about the function "eomonth()" and it probably caused me a lot of heartburn - i figure it might help you out here.

I'm a little unclear what's being requested when ri!requestDate isn't one of the last 2 days of the given month, but this seems to work for what I understand of your requirement:

a!localVariables(
  
  local!eomonthDate: eomonth(ri!requestDate, 0),
  local!nextMonthStartDate: local!eomonthDate + 1,
  
  local!isApplicableDate: or(
    local!eomonthDate = {ri!requestDate, ri!requestDate + 1}
  ),
  
  if(
    local!isApplicableDate,
    local!nextMonthStartDate,
    ri!requestDate
  )
)

First of all, edit this question and re paste your code in a code box.
