You can do this in the field calculator with the refFunctions plugin. It
gives you a function, geomnearest(), which will return the WKT geometry of the
nearest line(or geomdistance() if you want to limit your search radius). Then
use the closest_point() function to find the nearest point on that line.
something like:
closest_point(geom_from_wkt(geomdistance('lines','$geometry',10)) , $geometry)
