It can be done in Visual Studio.

1) In VS IDE,

there is an option called Batch Build which can build different projects with different platforms,..etc at the same time.

Build-->Batch Build or right-click your solution-->Batch Build

enter image description here

You can choose any platforms for your project to build them.

2) If you want to use MSBuild command line,

You can create a proj called test.proj file which assembles the association between the project and the platform.

Then build test.proj in msbuild command line directly.

You can check my answer in a similar issue.

In my answer, BuildInParallel="true" can build all projects in parallel, which can improve the performance of msbuild build.
