You can use the "Generate script for database objects" feature on SSMS.

1. Right click on the target database
2. Select Tasks > Generate Scripts
3. Choose desired table or specific object
4. Hit the Advanced button
5. Under General, choose value on the Types of data to script. You can select Data only, Schema only, and Schema and data. Schema and data includes both table creation and actual data on the generated script.
6. Click Next until wizard is done
