Generate random records between a range

I wish to create 10,000 records with a random number between 735234 and 736329.  Actually, I want to generate these records as dates between 1/1/2014 and 12/31/2016.  I used numbers thinking it would be easier to script.  Numbers (or dates) can be repeated, the only criteria is that the record set be random.   Any ideas how to proceed would be appreciated.  

Purpose of this request:  To generate sample data for charts.

Not sure where you're having difficulty with this. Simply set the date field to = 

Int ( Random * 1096 ) + 735234

Note: the number 1096 is obtained by = 736329 - 735234 + 1.
