Search on terms like download free windows utility file rename and I'm sure
you'll find lots of possibilities.

look for DOS program "append". This program does exactly what you want.
append filename.txt+filename1.txt+...+ filename123.txt

The DOS external command APPEND does something entirely different. It is
used for managing paths.
The syntax you have listed is actually from the COPY command and will
concatenate files, which is not what OP was trying to do.

Actually the * wildcard gives the wrong result
Use the ? (single character wildcard), one for each character in the
filename, then append the extra characters.
eg.
ren ??????.txt ??????123.txt
