  You can check the Actions called by the buttons with Visual Ribbon Editor and you can call those functions in your code.

  Re-use of JavaScript functions defined within ribbon commands is unsupported extension though.

  

  e.g.

  Mscrm.RibbonActions.addActivityOnForm("4202");
  
  assignObject("10000");

  You don't need to reference the Ribbon JS Library.

  Since the ribbon has already loaded the necessary JavaScript on the document, you just use those commands in your JavaScript and it'll perform as you click the buttons.

  e.g.

  Mscrm.RibbonActions.addActivityOnForm("4202");

  Once again, Re-use of JavaScript functions defined within ribbon commands is unsupported extension and the solution may not work properly if the structure of the ribbon commands are changed in new releases.

  If you just want to trigger the click of the ribbon buttons, you can trigger with the following code.

  window.top.document.getElementById("new_test|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.new_test.Assign-Large").click();

  
  

  The ID of the ribbon buttons are in the following format.

  <entityname>|NoRelationship|Form|<buttonid>-<buttontemplate>
  
  e.g.
  new_test|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.new_test.MainTab.Save-LargeMedium
  new_test|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.new_test.MainTab.Collaborate-LargeMedium
  new_test|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.new_test.MainTab.Workflow-Large
  new_test|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.new_test.MainTab.ExportData-LargeMedium
  
  

  You can check the button IDs in the HTML tags using IE developer tool.

  window.top.document.childNodes[1].innerHTML
