Note that $N$ is homeomorphic to the union of $M$ with $\DeclareMathOperator{\Cyl}{Cyl}$ the mapping cylinder $\Cyl(\pi)$ of the bundle projection $\newcommand{\pa}{\partial}$ $\pi:\pa M\to X$. Denote by $M^\circ$ the interior of $M$ Now observe that from the Poincare Duality for $(M,\pa M)$ we have $$ H^{n-k}_{dR}(M)\cong H^k_{dR}(M^\circ) \cong H^k_{cpt}(M^\circ). $$ The extension by $0$ defines a morphism
$$ H^k_{cpt}(M^\circ)\to H^k_{cpt}(N)\cong H^k(N). $$
