Select the first 3 rows of each table in a database

Question

I have a database with 69 tables and I want to select only the first three records of each table.

I can do it per table with:

SELECT TOP 3 *

Here you have:

DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX)='';
SELECT @sql=@sql+'SELECT TOP 3 * FROM '+'['+SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)+'].['+name+']'+';'
  FROM sys.tables
EXEC(@sql)
