Yes, even I have the same doubt. Yesterday will be only one and there is no need to mention as 'this yesterday'.
Can you please tell the answer so that I would correct myself.

This yesterday ! is it correct?
Yesterday means the day before today. There should not be a "This". I think.

The sentence is formed as past tense.
"Will" is future tense, "Would" is the past form of "Will". That's why the sentence is wrong.

'this' with yesterday is it okay?
Yesterday itself mention one day before today, what is the use of 'this'?
Yesterday itself mention one day before today, what is the use of 'this'?

"Will" uses in the action of future tense but this sentence starts with "I had known" is uses the action of past perfect tense so we have to use would instead of will.

Shall we use "may" instead of "would" I may have helped him.

The first clause is in the past perfect, so this is a 3rd conditional problem.
Rule is;
If + Past perfect / Past perfect continuous +,
+ Sub + would/could/should/must/might + have + verb in past participle.
No @Gowtham.
You can not use may instead of would.
