I am SO sorry for your situation. I know what you're going through - I had to put my 20 year old cat to sleep and it was SO SO SO difficult, even now over a year later - I can't really think about it.
It sounds like your baby is in a lot of mental and physical pain, poor thing. If it were me, I'd ask the vet for a sedative THAT YOU CAN PICK UP AHEAD OF TIME and then give to him on the day of the appointment - so that he's sedated and calm before you even leave.
If you can bear it, go there with him and be there for him. IF you can. I will tell you it's painless for the animal - but excruciating for the human.
My heart goes out to you (I'm tearing up writing this),
