Populating objects from custom button URL field

I am having a small issue populating 2 fields in my custom button, everything else seems to work fine but the account field does not populate anything and I cannot populate a user in the account contact field.  comments by the problem areas. code:
  
/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=01I3B0000008YRp&
retURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}&
save_new_url=%2Fa2C%2Fe%3F{!Opportunity.Name}
accid={!Opportunity.Id}&
CF00N3B000000OKFI={!Opportunity.Primary_Contact__c}&
CF00N3B000000OKFI_lkid={!Opportunity.Primary_Contact__c.UserId}&//not sure how to reference the user id here?
CF00N3B000000OKFz={!Opportunity.Name}&
CF00N3B000000OKFz_lkid={!Opportunity.Id}&
CF00N3B000000OKFB ={!Opportunity.Account}&//this field is left blank, but these references work in any other field i assign them to
CF00N3B000000OKFB_lkid={!Opportunity.AccountId}&
00N3B000000OKFR={!Today()+90}&
Name=Quote For {!Opportunity.Name}

and in fact i would rather have the primary user in the related list Contact Roles as the Account contact.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

On this line you can use only {!Opportunity.Primary_Contact__c.id} . Because this field seems a contact field and you need to use id in contact lookup field.

Try to change {!Opportunity.Account} to ​{!Opportunity.AccountId} .

Let me know if does not work.

it gives me an error when using 
 {!Opportunity.Primary_Contact__c.id} 
Error: Field Opportunity.Primary_Contact__c.id does not exist. Check spelling.

the primary_contact__c is a  lookup(Contact) if that makes a difference

Use this 

 {!Opportunity.Primary_Contact__r.id}  this will work.

what Prabhat suggest is good..you're referencing a foreign entity, you need to append __c with __r for the system to get the right value for reference.
