Here's the thing: interviews are stressful and unnatural and they provoke anxiety and a fight-or-flight response in a lot of people. That fight-or-flight response shuts down parts of the brain that evolution considers unnecessary in an emergency situation, including the pre-frontal cortex - the part of the brain that you need to perform reasoning and to think of questions that you might want to ask. A good interviewer will know this. I've interviewed a lot of people who were obviously nervous and who didn't have any questions to ask me at the end but whom we hired and who ended up doing really well in the job. That said, if you do want to have something to ask the interviewer and you're worried that your mind will go blank, write down some questions ahead of time in a notebook that you take to the interview and refer to it if necessary. An added bonus is that you can ask about things that you actually care about, rather than just asking asking the first thing that comes into your head.
