Don,
As far as a variety of grass that does well up there in NH, try Perennial Rye. It's what we use on golf course tee's, fairway's, and rough. It's low maint when mowed at 2.75" or higher. And yes, def go down with the seed when you core aerate in the fall around labor day. Rye will love the cooler temps up there, it may stress and brown a little when the temps get over 85 and the soil is dry but it'll bounce back after the first rain shower.
In the spring the northeast needs to extend their crabgrass control later than many areas. Go down with the pre-emergent in early April and don't be afraid to re-apply in the middle of May to extend coverage to end of June.
