The D chord is simply the C chord moved up two frets, no barre required.
These two can be a stretch. Worth picking them as well as strumming - try skipping strings when picking strings.
The above two lines are just two chord progressions. However you could put them together. The E chord above sounds quite nice after the Dadd4add9 chord on the top row.
