I'm sure that these routines are available in a variety of locations, this just adds one more place that people can find them if they need them.  These are some common routines for generating commonly needed dates.  I hope people find them useful in MS SQL Server.

declare @ThisDate datetime;
set @ThisDate = getdate();

select dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, @ThisDate), 0)     -- Beginning of this day
select dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, @ThisDate) + 1, 0) -- Beginning of next day
select dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, @ThisDate) - 1, 0) -- Beginning of previous day
select dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, @ThisDate), 0)     -- Beginning of this week (Monday)
select dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, @ThisDate) + 1, 0) -- Beginning of next week (Monday)
select dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, @ThisDate) - 1, 0) -- Beginning of previous week (Monday)
select dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, @ThisDate), 0)     -- Beginning of this month
select dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, @ThisDate) + 1, 0) -- Beginning of next month
select dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, @ThisDate) - 1, 0) -- Beginning of previous month
select dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, @ThisDate), 0)     -- Beginning of this quarter (Calendar)
select dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, @ThisDate) + 1, 0) -- Beginning of next quarter (Calendar)
select dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, @ThisDate) - 1, 0) -- Beginning of previous quarter (Calendar)
select dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, @ThisDate), 0)     -- Beginning of this year
select dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, @ThisDate) + 1, 0) -- Beginning of next year
select dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, @ThisDate) - 1, 0) -- Beginning of previous year
