The type command can be used to concatenate files. Try

type file1.txt >> file2.txt

Brett's answer works well. Another alternative is

copy file1.txt + file2.txt /b

You can append any number of files with this syntax by adding additional files.

The /b option prevents the <ctrl-Z> end-of-file marker from being appended to the end of the file after the copy.
