I am trying to generate a PayPal donation button with a price drop down and a Yes-No drop down. Button is working fine but the amount/price is going empty. Below is the html generated from PayPal's website. Could anyone please help? Thanks!

AFAIK, option_index is not supported by donation buttons (cmd = _donations). You may try to use a BuyNow button (cmd = _xclick) instead, or change the amount field into a drop down menu, like
<select name="amount">
<option value="50">Red</option>
<option value="100">Bronze</option>
<option value="200">Silver</option>
...
</select>

I have this "Add to cart" PayPal button:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<div align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="email#host.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="An item to buy">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="per dozen">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="48.00">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

<img alt="" border="0" width="1" height="1" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
</div>
It works fine if quantity added is 1:
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
But it doesn't work if I try to change the default quantity added to 12:
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="12">
How can I fix this? Thanks.
Try will below code, It will change default quantity to 12:

Was wondering if there's a way to have an drop-down option field modify a base price of an item? Something like this...
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$90" />
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="$10" />
<input type="text" name="quantity" value="1" style="width:15px;" />
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Options1" />
<select name="os0">
<option value="21 inches $5" >21 inches $5</option>
<option value="22 inches $5" >22 inches $5</option>
<option value="24 inches $10" >24 inches $10</option>
</select>
I'm guessing I'll have to make the amount field be a drop-down?
You can check the updated demo:
I have made a custom code to achieve base price + optional price scenario.
you will need to customise your own logic to build the amount value and pass to the amount variable and send it to paypal

I know how to code related select fields, e.g., color and size for a product, but not sure how to have 2 select fields (dropdowns) for 2 different products. Do I have to code two separate forms? or is there a way to put both in the same form. Here I show the later option, but no dice. Thoughts?
Also, trying to figure out how to code an empty first option as "Select..."

There are several ways to do this, but given the minimal sophistication, I would code that as two forms:

I want to add have tax set on individual items with Paypal. For example, I want "One $1" to have tax # 12% whilst the remaining "Two $2", "Three $3", "Four $4" and "Five $5" to have tax at 5%.
<option value="">--- Or Select a Type of Service ---</option>
<option name="tax_1" value="One $1">Hello $20</option>
<option value="Two $2">Bye $30</option>
<option value="Three $3">Tata $45</option>
<option value="Four $4">Bonjour $40</option>
<option value="Five $5">Au Rrevoir $30</option>
Therefore, I use on the form action:
<input type="hidden" name="tax_rate" value="12">
<input type="hidden" name="tax_1" value="6">
But it doesn't work for 6% tax for "One $1". How would I be able to make it work?

Once I got redirected to PayPal I am missing, both, item description and item price.
You'll still need to send along an item_name field. The drop down list acts as a modifier for an item to add to the cart. In addition to the drop down list itself, you'll also need to send option_select(n) and option_amount(n) in your form. Check out the example below, it's from the Paypal button generator and should get you rolling.
