Almost all the time, a printed itinerary will suffice. So I've just edited an old PDF with new dates and showed whoever needs to be convinced. (if you have no pdf editor, then there are websites that will fake a ticket for you: http://returnflights.net/) They have no means to check the validity of my reservation and booking number... UNLESS they are the specific airline itself.
In that case, I book a refundable ticket and just cancel the ticket when I am in the country.
There's even websites for booking a refundable ticket on your behalf, then providing you with an valid reservation, and they will automatically cancel the ticket for you.
The benefit is that it will pass a lookup at the airport, you don't have to put a large sum of $$$$ on your credit card (charges typically $5-$10) and you don't have to remember to cancel the ticket (expensive if you forget).
Examples: flyonward.com, onwardflights.com, returnflights.net
Note, I haven't used any of the above, so use them at your own risk.
