Keep in mind that restoring a database backup file will not give the original MDF (and LDF) files. The only way to get the original MDF file is to copy it
You can execute the T-SQL suggested by steoleary in Visual Studio, see more here: How to: Run SQL Scripts in Solution Explorer. You can also do that in SQL Server management Studio.
The blank database you created doesn't help much, unless you want to synchronize the backup to it. But for that you would need a 3rd party tool
First, execute the following to find out the logical file names in your backup. This example is for the backup named TestFull.bak stored in E:\Test
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'E:\Test\TestFull.bak'
GO
The logical names should be used in the next script. Also, update the paths and names used
RESTORE DATABASE YourDB
FROM DISK = 'E:\Test\TestFull.bak'
WITH MOVE 'test1' TO 'E:\test\TestMDFFile.mdf',
MOVE 'test1_log' TO 'E:\test\TestLDFFile.ldf'
