Solution 1
You don't need a script. From the docs:
--out <path>, -o <path>
Specifies the directory where mongodump will write BSON files for the dumped databases.
Example:
mongodump -o /mydir/
Lots of other options there, check it out.
Solution 2
You can view all the commands for mongodump by typing "mongodump --help" in the command prompt (NB. You have to be in the folder that contains mongodump.exe).
You can use a command like:
mongodump /host <hostIP> /port <port> /d <database> /c <collection> /o <outputDirectoryPath>

I'd like to specify the directory to which mongodump dumps, via a switch on the mongodump command. Is this possible?
