In Windows Command Prompt I get:
C:\Programs\Python33>python -c "a=1\nprint(a)"
  File "<string>", line 1
    a=1\nprint(a)
                ^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
(Same if I remove quotes.)

How do I get this to work?

You could use semicolons: python -c "a = 1; print(a)" If your code is too long for that, it sounds horrible to put it in the command line...
