As far as the Battle of Pelennor Fields, I have heard that there were 100,000, 200,000, 250,000, 300,000, and 600,000 Sauronic forces. All of those numbers came from people who worked on the film, during various behind-the-scenes features and interviews.

So I don't have a clue what the real number is as far as that goes. Ten thousand is about right for Helm's Deep, though. I don't know how many good guys are at the Battle of the Morannon, but it sure doesn't seem to be as many as six thousand.
