You can reserve frequent flyer tickets in anyone's name, no need to transfer miles. I would concentrate on booking the three one-way tickets from Beijing as soon as possible to secure availability, probably with your AA miles. Maybe you could use the UA miles for the older daughter.
It would be easiest to buy the two round trip tickets, after booking the one-way tickets, so you can get the return seats on the same flight.
While you cannot buy a ticket on the same itinerary as an award ticket, you can link itineraries after purchasing.
