If you have both the live and neutral coming into the switch then you daisey chain the Commons together and put the neutral in a terminal block.
The outgoing switch lives are connected to L1 and the out going neutrals are connected to the neutral terminal block.
For the two way switch you will need to move the daisey chain live to L1 and the outgoing switch live to L2.
Then get three core and earth and connect brown to Common, grey(brown sleeve) to L1 and Blue(brown sleeve) to L2. Make sure you repeat the same colours in the same terminals in the second two way switch.
If the second two way is already wired up then just make sure the three core conductors are matched for each switch.
Don't forget the earths.
