You should be okay with your passport valid for the intended period of stay, but keep in mind many countries (not the ones you are visiting) require passports to be valid for 3 months upto 6 months beyond your intended stay.

We, the US, reserve the right to deny entry to people on the basis that their passport is not valid for more than 6 months when applying for a visa. Ironically, (IIRC) about 15-20% of denials on this basis overseas were for passports that were expiring more than 9 months from date of denial. I guess some of our FSOs can pass the FS exam but cannot count.
