I'm looking for a way to run a script that creates a simple windows vm with rdp port and installs a software on it in order give our clients a simple sand boxed server for testing purposes. Is there a simple way to do that as I've been struggling for a while now.

You should use custom script extension for Azure VM. Depending on how you create vms you can use powershell\cli\arm templates\rest api\sdk to use that extension.
sample powershell:
$ProtectedSettings = @{"commandToExecute" = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File \\filesvr\build\serverUpdate1.ps1"};
Set-AzureRmVMExtension -ResourceGroupName myRG
-Location myLocation `
-VMName myVM `
-Name "serverUpdate"
-Publisher "Microsoft.Compute" `
-ExtensionType "CustomScriptExtension" `
-TypeHandlerVersion "1.9" `
-ProtectedSettings $ProtectedSettings
