Answer 1

As @aioobe wrote in his answer, in this case one can switch from the left alignment

\begin{tabular}{lll}

to the paragraph alignment, at least in the third column where the custom linebreak must be inserted manually:

\begin{tabular}{llp{.5\textwidth}}

After this edit, one can use the command \par (instead of \newline) to implement the linebreak within the cell.

This code:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{llp{.5\textwidth}}
AAAAAAAAAA & BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB & Betty Botter Bought a Bit of Butter \par but the Butter's Bitter\\
CCCCCCCC & DDDD & Betty Botter Thought: \par If I Put This Bitter Butter in My \par Batter it Will Make My Batter Bitter\\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

produces the output requested:
