On the HKG-ORD award - you can easily add a NYC leg after an ORD stopover.
I've successfully booked a HKG-JFK stopover JFK-SFO award flight on CX/AA
For the NRT-HKG you should be able to route that via BKK on a combination of JL and CX with a sub 24 hour connection in BKK.
For all of these do your research in advance and tell the agents what flights to search. You will get better results.
