In terms of external software, check out OpenBabel:
http://openbabel.org/wiki/Main_Page

There's also the H++ server, which employs Babel as part of its algorithm:
http://biophysics.cs.vt.edu/H++/index.php

I believe H++ can handle nucleic acids.  You could also do all of this with
Gromacs, if you can come up with relevant entries in the .hdb file for your
particular force field.  Then pdb2gmx could produce the right structure with
added hydrogens.
