Try to use CHAR(13) -

DECLARE 
      @firstName NVARCHAR(50) = '11'
    , @lastName NVARCHAR(50) = '22'
    , @text NVARCHAR(MAX) 

SELECT @text = 
    'First Name : ' + @firstName + 
    CHAR(13) + --<--
    'Second Name : ' + @lastName

SELECT @text

Output -

First Name : 11
Second Name : 22

Using only CHAR(13) gives strange result when writing result to console. Lines seem to overwrite each other. Adding CHAR(10) (=line feed) after the CHAR(13) fixes this problem. – Bruno Apr 20 '16 at 09:19

You may use

CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

Try this

DECLARE @firstName NVARCHAR(50)
    ,   @lastName NVARCHAR(50)
    ,   @text NVARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @NewLineChar AS CHAR(2) = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

SELECT @text = 'First Name : ' + @firstName + @NewLineChar + 'Second Name : ' + @lastName
PRINT @Text

CHAR(13) will show the text in new line, when you switch to Result to text.

You need to add CHAR(13) between your two string.

SELECT @text nvarchar(MAX) = 'First Name : ' + @firstName + CHAR(13) + ' Second Name : ' + @secondName
