Better yet, specify /p:Version=$(Build.BuildNumber) (TFS/VSTS) on the dotnet pack command and it will build it with the specified version in the nuget package. Example (non TFS specific):

dotnet pack .\src\example\example.csproj -o c:\published\example -c Release /p:Version=1.2.3

Example (TFS specific) <- we use this for our TFS 2017 packing using a powershell script step.

dotnet pack $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\src\example\example.csproj -o $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)\Pack -c Release /p:Version=$(Build.BuildNumber)

Note: It does not update package reference versions.
