Today I got the 6s, and I'm trying to restore from a backup of my 5s that I did earlier today. However when it gives me the options for backups I don't see the one I'm looking for. When I plug in the 5s it says that the last backup from it was today and when I go to preferences the back up shows there. Is there anyway I can use the back up? Thanks.
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.1
Chances are your new phone is not updated, so it can't find the backup you made on your more recently update device.
Ex: Assuming your iPhone is iOS 9.1, backups made in this version can't be used on phones that aren't updated to this version.
Solution: Update your phone! You'll have to set it up as brand new, update it, then go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings, to reset the phone to factory settings then restore from a backup!

You were correct, thank you!
iTunes won't let me use backup
