This would be accomplished through a configuration profile. Here is an example of what I use to set the default homepage and new tab page in Edge. This is a configuration profile with the Application & Custom Settings configured:

Preference Domain: com.microsoft.Edge
Property List: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>HomepageIsNewTabPage</key>
    <false/>
    <key>HomepageLocation</key>
    <string>https://yourhomepagehere.com</string>
    <key>NewTabPageLocation</key>
    <string>https://yournewtabpagehere.com</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 I would recommend using a Configuration Profile instead of trying to script it? The only reason to use a script is if you want to allow the user to change the setting later. 

See this document on how to use Jamf's Custom Application payload to configure Edge.
