Yes, it two years' experience

Whenever you're wondering whether a phrase like this needs an apostrophe, try mentally substituting "one" for "two" (or whatever other number is in the phrase you're wondering about). "Two years' experience" and "two years experience" sound the same -- but "one year's experience" and "one year experience" are easy to tell apart. And of course you'd say "one year's experience." You'd also say "one week's notice" and "one dollar's worth." Just remember, when it's a plural, put the apostrophe after the "s," where it belongs on a plural possessive.

When a persons last name does not end in s do you add 's or s' to show possession?

When the name does not end in s, one should use 's. eg) Mr Smith's pen. This is the same as any apostrophe of posession, eg) the cat's whiskers. When the name does end in an s, the rule is exactly the same. eg) Mr. Jones's pen. James's watch. You never add s' to show possession. If the word is a plural formed with an s, such as baskets or buffaloes, the possessive is indicated by adding an apostrophe alone eg) the baskets' handles, the buffaloes' horns.
