Hi, Both are correct, but should is rather formal and old-fashioned. Also, it is more likely to be said in British English than in American English. Be sure to place a period at the end of each sentence.

Both are correct. Depending on the situation we should use those words.

For example: When we are asking something to others "I would like to know" will be in a polite way.

"I should know" sounds like demanding!!
