When I need it, I make use of something like: Free Online Cron Expression Generator and Describer - FreeFormatter.com[^]

Your case looks a little more stringent and not straight forward. Never needed to schedule start date. You can see if the generator supports exact scenario or else you would need to make use of script in expression[^]. In script, you will have full handle on what you want as you can code[^] there as per your requirement.
