Are you using Cygwin?  (The fact that you wrote /bin makes me ask.)  For
cmd, adding C:\Program Files\lilypond\usr\bin to the path should be enough.

Because I dislike polluting my PATH, I have a c:\bin in the path, then I
add a file called lilypond.bat to that directory with
    @echo off
    "C:\Apps\Lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe" %*
