We study the cosmological origin of small-scale DM clumps in the hierarchical scenario with the most conservative assumption of adiabatic Gaussian fluctuations. The mass spectrum of small-scale clumps with M<10^3Msun is calculated with tidal destruction of the clumps taken into account within the hierarchical model of clump structure. Only 0.1-0.5% of small clumps survive the stage of tidal destruction in each logarithmic mass interval. The mass distribution of clumps has a cutoff at Mmin due to diffusion of DM particles out of a fluctuation and free streaming at later stage. Mmin is a model dependent quantity. In the case the neutralino DM, considered as a pure bino, Mmin~10^-8 Msun. The evolution of density profile in a DM clump does not result in the singularity because of formation of the core under influence of tidal interaction. The radius of the core is ~0.1R, where R is radius of the clump. The applications for annihilation of DM particles in the Galactic halo are studied. The number density of clumps as a function of their mass, radius and distance to the Galactic center is presented. The enhancement of annihilation signal due to clumpiness, valid for arbitrary DM particles, is calculated. In spite of small survival probability, the global annihilation signal in most cases is dominated by clumps, with major contribution given by small clumps. The enhancement due to large clumps with M>10^6 Msun is very small.
