Do you put an apostrophe in new years?
Yes, when it is New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. They are possessives, as in the day that belongs to a new year. If you are talking about plurals, then there is no apostrophe, like "New years are not like old years".
Does Mother's Day have an apostrophe in it?
Yes. It actually depends on what you are trying to say. If you are referring to something that belongs to a mother, as in, for example, "My mother's car is green", then mother would have an apostrophe in it. However, if you are referring to more than one mother, for example "There are a lot of mothers at the game", then mothers will not have an apostrophe in it. But if you want to talk about something that belongs to more than one mother, for example "All the mothers' cars are green", it would get an apostrophe at the end of mothers.
Does New Years have an apostrophe?
I believe it should have an apostrophe, but it is often left out. It's the first day of, or belonging to, the New Year. It is the New Year's first day. Within a generation or two, we will probably never see the apostrophe used for New Year's Day; it will go the way of archaic usage. If current trends are any indication, apostrophe ess will probably shift from indicating the possessive forms of most nouns (its current use) to the general plural form (still considered incorrect currently).

No, the plural form of "day" is "days" and does not require an apostrophe. An apostrophe is used to show possession or contraction, not to form plurals.

Why are the no apostrophe around the word Veterans for Veterans Day?
The term "Veterans Day" is spelled without an apostrophe to indicate that the day is a day for honoring all veterans, not just one specific veteran or a possession or attribute belonging to veterans.
