Hi Gokarna,
I don't have much knowledge about Denmark but I myself migrated to France few years back. From what I have read and heard, Denmark seems to be a great country to raise a family.
Since Denmark lies quite north from the equator, you will get less sun that you are used to in Nepal. This is one area you have to get used to. It was the same for me in France.
But if you are not much bothered by the rain or by the grey weather, you are fine.
For work and finances, you will definitely make as much as you would in USA but you will ahve all the benifits that you would not have in USA. You will get free health care, free child care, good unemployment benifits etc.
These countries have good amount of immigrant, most of whome are muslims. So if you do your best to assimilate to their culture, you will be much appreciated. This is also one of the ways to stand out from a regular closed-minded immigrant who profits from their generous  state-system.
So Denmark is a great country to be in with your family if you can handle the cold, wet and grey weather and a relatively smaller nepalese community. Besides, with a citizenship of a EU country, you can easily move to other EU countries for various reasons. And this is a great thing. Imagine being able to move to and work in any 20-25 countries without any problem.
Good Luck
