I'd like to get the last day of the month of a date, say current date.
The only "simple" way I found to get it is : (here adate is a valid date)

copy adate to newdate
        set day of newdate to 1
        set newdate to newdate + 31 * days
        set day of newdate to 1
        set newdate to newdate - 1 * days

I'm hopping something much simple could be done.  
Any idea ?

The only operation I found on date is to add or subtract days or integers. Adding month or year seem not to work !

Not sure why you can't add months, I have no problem, but here's my one line solution:
set newDate to (date ("1/" & (month of aDate) + 1 & "/" & year of aDate)) - 1
