I had the same problem as you and I find out all the datatables-buttons js files needed to be included:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/dataTables.buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.jqueryui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.colVis.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.flash.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.html5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.print.js"></script>

for excel and csv add this cdn

<script src="https://cdn.datatables/buttons/1.5.1/js/buttons.html5.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/jszip/3.1.3/jszip.min.js"></script>

for PDF file option add this cdn

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.32/pdfmake.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.32/vfs_fonts.js"></script>
