Modify variable names in a loop

Hi

I would like to modify the variable name in a loop and assign values
to the variable.

For[kk = 1, kk <= 3, kk++,
    "output" <> ToString[Evaluate[kk]] = {kk,kk+1,kk+2};
];

I would like the following output
output1={1,2,3}
output2={2,3,4}
output3={3,4,5}

Although, "output" <> ToString[Evaluate[kk]] evaluates as expected, it
does not let me assign values. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for your help
