You can add years as

C#

for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
    ddl.Items.Add(DateAndTime.Now.Year + 1);
}

To add months, if the year is current year

C#

for (int i = DateAndTime.Now.Month; i <= 12; i++) {
    ddl.Items.Add(DateAndTime.MonthName(i));
}

else

C#

for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++) {
    ddl.Items.Add(DateAndTime.MonthName(i));
}

You can consider CascadingDropDown to implement this.
