Assuming you have done the standard keybindings (C-c l for org-store-link everywhere
- see section 1.3, "Activation", in the Org manual for more details):

Visit the info node of interest, do C-c l to store the link, then visit an org
file and do C-c C-l to insert the link.

Here is an example of what was inserted, when I tried the above procedure
on the indicated Info node:

[[info:org:Processing%20LaTeX%20fragments][Processing LaTeX fragments]]

I don't understand the context (why do you have to define a variable exactly?),
but you can include double quotes in a lisp string by escaping it with a backslash:

(setq org "
 yadda \"yadda\"
")

see section 2.3.8.1, "Syntax for Strings" in the Elisp manual.
