Simply use the ECHO command and redirect its output to a file:

@echo off
echo Line one> file.ext
echo Line two>> file.ext
echo Line three>> file.ext
echo.>> file.ext
echo The above line is blank>> file.ext

After running such script, file.ext contains:

===== FILE.EXT BEGIN =====
Line one
Line two
Line three

The above line is blank.

===== FILE.EXT END =====
