Here you go. Might not be pretty but does the job.
No matter which DataTable has more row it will add them.

private static DataTable MergeTables(DataTable dt1, DataTable dt2)
{
    DataTable merged = new DataTable();

    //copy column struct from dt1
    merged = dt1.Clone();

    //create columns from dt2
    foreach (DataColumn col in dt2.Columns)
    {
        merged.Columns.Add(col.ColumnName);
    }

    int rows;

    if (dt1.Rows.Count > dt2.Rows.Count)
    {
        rows = dt1.Rows.Count;
    }
    else
    {
        rows = dt2.Rows.Count;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
    {
        DataRow row = merged.NewRow();

        if ( i < dt1.Rows.Count)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < dt1.Columns.Count; c++)
            {
                row[c] = dt1.Rows[i][c];
            }
        }

        if (i < dt2.Rows.Count)
        {
            for (int c2 = dt1.Columns.Count; c2 < dt2.Columns.Count + dt1.Columns.Count; c2++)
            {
                row[c2] = dt2.Rows[i][c2-dt1.Columns.Count];
            }
        }
        merged.Rows.Add(row);
    }
    return merged;
}
