Grab an Act 2 merc, auras benefit skeletons. Thorns is the safest way to go, but Blessed Aim and Might will push damage up preatty high....
...Your henchman, should you actually keep his level somewhere near yours, will be more than able to get that first kill for skeletons in Nightmare and Hell should you actually give him a decent weapon. Just go into the Blood Moor and/or Cold Plains...

An Act 1 merc with Runeword Edge bow gives pretty high-level Thorns aura, and has the extra benefits of being a good range attacker that doesn't jam up against monsters. Also, you can always borrow her bow for gambling.
Once you hit Act 5, you don't need to worry about how to get your first kills for skeletons. There will be some corpses just outside the gates of Harrogath, and if Anya's portal to Nihlathak's Temple is open you can also use the corpses there, if you use them before they reanimate.
