Hm, I’m not sure what you mean by built in support, but there is an excellent plugin you should install: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vector-of-bool.cmake-tools
It gives you easy interface extensions for building, debugging, or testing your project. You shouldn’t need to use a specific Generator – by default CMake Tools will use the default generator (I think). So Makefiles should be fine. Is that what you were looking for?

There’s support for CMake built in but if I use CMake externally was generator should I use?
