Can you describe your setup? Are you using AHV, ESXi, HyperV? Are you trying to script from some engine? are you trying to use PowerShell, or are you open for some other CLIs?

Use this blog from http://blog.myvirtualvision.com/2016/01/13/ahv-creating-a-new-vm-using-powershell/ as your starter.
I pinged one of the powershell developers, he's going to work on a code snippet as a sample for you, in the mean time, his initial comment was this:
The idea is in the vm create or update option you can use the vmDiskClone parameter to clone the vdisks from the already existing images. There is no separate command to attach a image to a vm its the part of the vm creation only. So in the existing vm create powershell script, you can add the vmDiskClone object in the diskList for the vms.
