On the D chord, experiment with hand position and arch of the fingers to get to a point where you’re pressing the strings straight down to the fretswith the finertips closer to perpendicular to the fretboard. This will reduce any tendency to mute adjacent strings. Take some time picking each string individually to make sur they are all ringing clearly, then strum the chord. After a while it really does get easier. Every part of guitar playing is challending for a while. That’s part of the attraction. It’s “hard fun” that you’ll never outgrow!
