Here is a full script that combines files from a book or a folder or all opened files. It has a simple interface so you can start running it independently of what you have opened.
/*Written and updated by Michael Z.
Allows merging of files from active book or all opened documents or any chosen folder with all its subfolders.
Allows to change the sequence of files before producing the final file.
Allows to remove unneeded files before producing the final file.
Allows to maintain page numbers from original documents.
Allows to maintain original sections.
