Moving specific tr's into a specific td with javascript

I'm trying to change the format of a predefined table. I do not have access to the HTML, only CSS and JS.
Basically what I want is to move every tr except the first into the first tr's td with class="field_3".

<table style="border: 1px solid black;">
<tbody >
<tr id="unique_id_1">
<td class="field_1"><span class="col-1">Item</span></td>
<td class="field_2">No 1</td>
<td class="field_3"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_2">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 1</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_3">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 2</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_4">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

I have managed to make a working script by targeting the tr's id directly: 

var rows = $("#unique_id_2, #unique_id_3, #unique_id_4");
$("#unique_id_1 > td.field_3").append(rows);

But I need a way to select them programmatically as their id are being generated uniquely.

After searching and trying for days I have not managed to wrap my head around this.

So any insight to help solve this would be greatly appreciated.


Edit: Added another snippet with more rows which adds to the complexity of the solution.

<table style="border: 1px solid black;">
<tbody >
<tr class="group">
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_1">
<td class="field_1"><span class="col-1">Item</span></td>
<td class="field_2">No 1</td>
<td class="field_3"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_2">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 1</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_3">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 2</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_4">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 3</td>
</tr>

<tr class="group">
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_5">
<td class="field_1"><span class="col-1">Item</span></td>
<td class="field_2">No 2</td>
<td class="field_3"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_6">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 1</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_7">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 2</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_8">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 3</td>
</tr>

</tbody>
</table>

Espen

You can try this 

$( document ).ready(function() {
   var firstTr = $("tr:first-child").attr("id");  
    var rows =$("#"+firstTr ).nextAll();
$("tr:first-child td:last-child").append(rows);

});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table style="border: 1px solid black;">
<tbody >
<tr id="unique_id_1">
<td class="field_1"><span class="col-1">Item</span></td>
<td class="field_2">No 1</td>
<td class="field_3"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_2">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 1</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_3">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 2</td>
</tr>
<tr id="unique_id_4">
<td class="field_1"></td>
<td class="field_2"></td>
<td class="field_3">Action 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
