If I simply start mstsc, I see an option to "use all of my monitors for the remote session" for the connection which I can also save.. There are third party tools/software that allow this too.

It's grayed out because you don't have more than one monitor on your laptop.
RDP doesn't mirror the console desktop session, but creates a new remote desktop session. So the desktop is only as big as what the remote desktop client has set it as.
If you truly want to view what's on the 3 desktop monitors on your laptop, you'll need a 3rd-party "screen sharing" program like VNC or logmein.
