How can one calculate third and fourth moments of a jump-diffusion process with time-varying parameters?

Suppose that $x_t$ is a random process that satisfies the mean-reversion jump-diffusion process governed by the stochastic differential equation $$dx_t=\alpha(t)(\beta(t)-x_t)\,dt+\sigma(t)\,dW_t+J_t\,...
