Take a look at the CONVERT function

Added local variables to make the code work in isolation. Your best bet is to output as a string:

DECLARE @J1 INT = 1;
DECLARE @JDate DATETIME = GETDATE ();

SELECT DateEnd = CONVERT (CHAR(10)
                         ,DATEADD (   DAY
                                     ,CASE
                                          WHEN @J1 IS NULL THEN
                                              0
                                          ELSE
                                              @J1
                                      END
                                     ,@JDate
                                  )
                         ,110
                         );

--Simpler version
SELECT DateEnd = CONVERT (CHAR(10), DATEADD (DAY, ISNULL (@J1, 0), @JDate), 110);

I get that. Just substitute your columns into the code I provided.

look at the convert link given about and use the format you need.

and why do you need that particular format on a CSV file? if it is to load to another system there are other formats that are more stable than that one (e.g. how do you know it is mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy if you have a date of 11/12/2023 ?)
