Just replace TestTable with your table name.
DECLARE @TABLE_NAME sysname
SET @TABLE_NAME = 'TestTable'
SELECT @TABLE_NAME,
STUFF((SELECT ', ' + COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE C.TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
AND C.TABLE_NAME = @TABLE_NAME
ORDER BY C.ORDINAL_POSITION
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,'') x
Or this might be more suitable for your requirements:
SELECT 'SELECT ' +
STUFF((SELECT ', ' + COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE C.TABLE_SCHEMA = T.TABLE_SCHEMA
AND C.TABLE_NAME = T.TABLE_NAME
ORDER BY C.ORDINAL_POSITION
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,'') +
' FROM ' + QUOTENAME(T.TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(T.TABLE_NAME)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T

When composing a query in SSMS, just drag from the 'Columns' node of the table you want (in Object Explorer) to SELECT from onto the editing window – SSMS will pull in all of the column names for you.
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
