Since you know the first day of the month is always 01, this would work:

select cast(date_format(curdate() + interval 4 month,"%Y-%m-01") as date)

You can drop the cast if you're going to print the result directly, or
if you're going to plug it into a date column (mysql will do the cast
automatically)
