2017-05-31 + 1 month = 2017-06-31 and that overflows to 2017-07-01.

If your application needs it to stay as the last day of the month (not overflow) then you need custom logic for that. For example, https://3v4l.org/SjYiE

You don't need custom logic for this at all. You can just do:

<?php
$a = new DateTimeImmutable("2017-05-31 09:00:00");
$b = $a->modify("first day of next month");
echo $b->format("Y-m");
