I was wondering if someone new a code or library that I could use to randomly place tiles into my map file.

Could you be more specific? I doubt this is what you're looking for:

proc/PlaceRandomTurfs()
  for(var/turf/T in world)
    new pick(typesof(/turf) - /turf) (T)

Sure. You would use the pick() proc in combination with New(). For example, let's say you have a grass icon with 3 grass states called "1", "2", and "3":

turf/Grass
    icon='Grass.dmi'
    New()
        .=..()
        icon_state=pick("1","2","3")


Hopefully, this should give you an idea of what you need to do :)
