Please edit your last line if it needs editing. (two "change"?).

Your question about "appointment" and "switch" is difficult for me. I'd rather use some more formal verb, such as "postpone", when it is about an appointment with some important company or person, but let's stick to the "switch" problem. Others will probably provide you with some help.I too need to learn more about this verb.

Some minutes later:
I think it safe to say:"I want to switch it to two days later."
I am not sure about "forward","by" or not using any preposition before "two days".

"Switch forward" doesn't work.
"I want to switch my appointment to another date." This is OK, informally.

What about 2) and 3)?

No.

No.

It would be "to switch to two days forward or two days back?

No, it would be to move it to or reschedule it for.
