JSON is pretty easy, Newtonsoft.Json library is a special case. You can include it by adding this at the top of the script file:

#r "Newtonsoft.Json"

using Newtonsoft.Json;

Then your function becomes:

public static string GetJson() 
{
  var person = new Person();
  person.FirstName = "John";
  person.LastName = "Doe";

  person.Orders = new List();
  person.Orders.Add(new Order() { Id=1, Description="..." });

  return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(person);
}
