Using the SQL Server Management Studio:

Option 1

-> Right click on the database you want to copy
-> Choose 'Tasks' > 'Generate scripts'
-> 'Select specific database objects'
-> Check 'Tables'
-> Mark 'Save to new query window'
-> Click 'Advanced'
-> Set 'Types of data to script' to 'Schema and data'
-> Next, Next :)

You can now run the generated query on the new database.

Option 2

-> Right click on the database you want to copy
-> 'Tasks' > 'Export Data'
-> Next, Next :)
-> Choose the database to copy the tables to
-> Mark 'Copy data from one or more tables or views'
-> Choose the tables you want to copy
-> Finish

There is not one, but several options to achieve what you want. Your question is not very specific in that respect. You may find this article "SQL SERVER – 2008 – Copy Database With Data – Generate T-SQL For Inserting Data From One Table to Another Table" useful:
