Are the dates in B1:D1 always in the current year?
If not, how are we to determine which year to use?

How about
Excel Formula:
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A1&1),1)
Excel Formula:
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A1&1),10)
Excel Formula:
=EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A1&1),1),0)

OK. Put these formulas in the following cells:

B1:
Excel Formula:
=DATEVALUE($A1&" 1, "&YEAR(TODAY()))

C1:
Excel Formula:
=EDATE(DATEVALUE($A1&" 1, "&YEAR(TODAY())),1)-1

D1:
Excel Formula:
=DATEVALUE($A1&" 10, "&YEAR(TODAY()))

You can then format those cells to show the dates in any date format that you desire.

Actually, we could simplify the formulas I posted for C1 and D1, by making use of what we did in B1 (not need to rebuild a date each time).

So we could use this for C1:
Excel Formula:
=EDATE(B1,1)-1

and this for D1:
Excel Formula:
=B1+9
