You cannot add Apple Music files back into the library once they have been removed, nor transfer downloads made in one library to another. They must be downloaded from the iTunes Store directly in order to work. The only exception might be if you were looking at a scenario covered in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash where reverting to an older version of your database would enable it to use the Apple Music items that were present in the restored library.
