Wordpress short-code using Javascript/Jquery

I couldn't find an easy solution to call a php shortcode with javascript.
I have this javascript code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: '../wp-content/themes/medical-cure/ads_script.php',
            success: function(data) {

                $("p").text(data);
            }
        });
   });
});

Where ads_script.php contains:

<?php 
    echo do_shortcode( '[wprevive_js zoneid="10"]' );
?>

all executed when I click a button:

<button class="button" type="button" >Click Me</button>

But all this gives me a 500error. Maybe I have to ask wordpress stackexchange because 

do_shortcode( '[wprevive_js zoneid="10"]' );

is actually a Worpdress code, but I'd appreciate any help here.

UPDATE:

If I try to put echo "hi" instead of the shortcode, it works, return me "HI" when I start the Ajax call with the button.

You've isolated your ads_script.php away from the WordPress core.

Since you're making a direct call to it, it doesn't load WordPress and their gives the do_shortcode not a function error.

Try loading wp_load.php in your ads_script.php file.

It'll look something like:

<?php 
 // instead of include '../../../wp-load.php'; do ...
  $parse_uri = explode( 'wp-content', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
  require_once( $parse_uri[0] . 'wp-load.php' );

  echo do_shortcode( '[wprevive_js zoneid="10"]' );
?>
