how to assign the first day of the next month

Hi everybody,
I am very new in shell and this is my first post Smilie.
i am trying to write a script in which i want to decide some begin dates. this dates will be used by another shell scripts.
i would like to assign:
1- a variable which is a = sysdate
2- another variable b = the first day of the next month from sysdate

i want to have time in both, like sysdate is: 20080705 05:02:04,
and the first day of next month to be: 20080801 00:00:05

I appreciate a lot your kind help.
Regards.

i don't want the time to be exactly the same as sysdate, i would like to have time at midnight. is it possible to assign the time as i want also?

i want to have time in both, like sysdate is: 20080705 05:02:04,
and the first day of next month to be: 20080801 00:00:05

If you are using ksh93
Code:
$ printf "%(%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S)T\n" "now"
20080705 15:44:32
$ printf "%(%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S)T\n" "next month"
20080801 00:00:00
$
