So, just do what you have written.

select *, @EndUserDel FROM [dbo].[Service]

It is a valid T-SQL statement!

Its worth noting that, if you do not assign a value to @EndUserDel it will return NULL value. See my comments in the code below

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#service') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE #service;

CREATE TABLE #service (x varchar(10));

INSERT INTO #service SELECT 'abc' UNION ALL SELECT 'xyz';

DECLARE @EndUserDel AS varchar(10);

-- No value has been set for @EndUserDel so expect only NULLS for EndUserDel

-- Note the resultset:

SELECT *, @EndUserDel AS EndUserDel FROM #service

-- setting value for EndUserDel

SET @EndUserDel='Bob';

--Now look at the resultset:

SELECT *, @EndUserDel AS EndUserDel FROM #service

DROP TABLE #service;

GO

If you're trying to put something into the variable, you'll need to assign its value in the select statement.

declare @EndUserDel nvarchar(20);

select @EndUserDel=<FieldName> from dbo.Service;

The nvarchar variable is scalar, so you'll want to put some kind of filter on the query so it only returns one record too. Not sure if that's what you were trying to accomplish, but maybe this helps.
