DDL and DML for all the versions is the same. As long as you are not using any advanced features, such as CTE or Service Brokers you should be able to export scripts to create the database and use it.

Correct. Just in addition:
To get the scripts, right click the database in Management Studio, select > Tasks, then select > Generate Scripts.
There you can choose all objects for which you want to generate scripts.
Then you can run these scripts on SQL 2008 Express and even SQL 2005 (if you are not using any advanced features as mentioned above)
