Answer 1

The following CTE gives you the last day of every month from February 1900 until the middle of the 26th century (on my machine):

;with LastDaysOfMonths as (
    select DATEADD(month,
                 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY so.object_id),
                 '19000131') as Dt
    from sys.objects so,sys.objects so1
)
select * from LastDaysOfMonths

It should be easy enough to use it as part of a larger query or to filter it down to just the dates you want. You can adjust the range of years as needed by changing the constant 19000131. The only important thing to do is make sure that you use a month that has 31 days in it and always have the constant be for day 31.
