You may know that jmx file is a xml type file and its structured as node by node. Using any XML apis jmx files can be created programmatically . My suggestion is try to create an full testplan in jmeter with all basic test elements like Samplers, Listeners, Pre and Post processors and save jmx file then build new xml files based on that jmx structure as follows 

<jmeterTestPlan version="1.2" properties="2.4" jmeter="2.9">
  <hashTree>

    <TestPlan guiclass="TestPlanGui" testclass="TestPlan" testname="Test Plan" enabled="true">
      <stringProp name="TestPlan.comments"></stringProp>
      <boolProp name="TestPlan.functional_mode">false</boolProp>
      <boolProp name="TestPlan.serialize_threadgroups">false</boolProp>
      <elementProp name="TestPlan.user_defined_variables" elementType="Arguments" guiclass="ArgumentsPanel" testclass="Arguments" testname="User Defined Variables" enabled="true">
        <collectionProp name="Arguments.arguments"/>
      </elementProp>
      <stringProp name="TestPlan.user_define_classpath"></stringProp>
    </TestPlan>

    <hashTree>
      <RegexExtractor guiclass="RegexExtractorGui" testclass="RegexExtractor" testname="Regular Expression Extractor" enabled="true">
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.useHeaders">false</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.refname">REF</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.regex">(.*)</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.template">$1$</stringProp>
      </RegexExtractor>
    </hashTree>


  </hashTree>

</jmeterTestPlan>

you can use javax.xml APIs to create XML files(refer this) like above. Initially you can add basic samplers, listners ,pre & post-processors and then try for advanced. Check this for partial implementation of your idea in C#.

Good luck.
