    You can use 
    document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='test.js'></scr"+"ipt>");
    Code (markup):
    Note that you should split the closing script tag into two parts.

    Or else you can use the DOM model to acheive the same
    
// Create the Script Object
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'server.js';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.defer = true;
script.id = 'scriptID'; // This will help us in referencing the object later for removal
// Insert the created object to the html head element
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
head.appendChild(script);
    Code (markup):
    Similary you can also remove a script object
    
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
var old = document.getElementById('scriptID');
if (old) head.removeChild(old);
    Code (markup):
