Sorry, the sentence makes no sense.
EX: She was with him in the past 3 months but I don't know what months they are. (1)
If you know she was with him FOR the last 3 months, and you know we're in October, than you KNOW the 3 months involved: October, September, August.
And in fact, you should write (but still it doesn't make sense to me):
EX: S

For your specific examples, I'd recommend
That'll happen [sometime] in the next few months but I don't know exactly which month it is scheduled for. OR
That'll happen [sometimes] in the next few months but I don't know exactly which month it will start.
(There was nothing wrong with your "That'll happen," especially if it hasn't actually be scheduled.)
