Generate SQL Create Scripts for existing tables with Query
Possible this be helpful for you. This script generate indexes, FK's, PK and common structure for any table.
For example -
DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[WorkOut](
[WorkOutID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[TimeSheetDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[DateOut] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[EmployeeID] [int] NOT NULL,

[DepartmentUID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[WorkPlaceUID] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[TeamUID] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[WorkShiftCD] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[WorkHours] [real] NULL,
[AbsenceCode] [varchar](25) NULL,
[PaymentType] [char](2) NULL,
[CategoryID] [int] NULL,
[Year] AS (datepart(year,[TimeSheetDate])),
CONSTRAINT [PK_WorkOut] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[WorkOutID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[WorkOut] ADD

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[WorkOut] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_WorkOut_Employee_EmployeeID]

If you are looking for a TSQL solution, it is quite verbose, as this example shows.
A shorter alternative would be using the SMO library (example)
