the code for easter is at http://mindprod.com/holidays.html

Try googling for naval observatory new moon full moon. Years ago they
put out a set of polynomials for computing the positions of planets

Another possibility is to look into the Islamic lunar calendar.
Perhaps code for that could give you what you need.

I would be prepared to research this for you and either find the code
or write it for $75 US.
