After correcting the commands for Windows
mytable = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}};
mytable = Export["C:\\temp\\tmpfile.csv", mytable, "csv"];
this works fine.
I can open the csv in Excel, or in Notepad, without problems although, as you said, the Hexdump Shows the Content 312C 320D 0A33 2C34, i.e. without a final 0D0A.
But, if you wish you can easily achieve what you want by appending an empty list, like this
mytableEOF = {{1, 2}, {3, 4},{}};
Best regards,
Wolfgang
