Kindly share u'r ideas, suggestions and experience in self building and experimenting a 100 Mhz frequency generator. Is it possible to make it work accurately without using any specialized soldering technique etc.?

Try to go this way:

Finding a generator/synthesizer
Clock generators are used on PC motherboards to generate the various system clocks. If you have a ‘dead’ motherboard, chances are good that this part of the motherboard still works. Spotting the clock chip is easy; there are only a few manufacturers, the chip has a crystal nearby, it's usually a SSOP-type package and series-terminating SMT resistor arrays surround the chip.

As far as soldering techniques are concerned, you can consider mixed construction: part of the circuit on a PCB (possibly original from a mother board), part on a solderless prototyping breadboard ..
