Train ticket in Munich for round trip from airport

I have 10 hours connection in Munich and I'd like to spend them in the city instead of the airport.

Can somebody suggest me a type of ticket to buy to

go from airport to the city by train
return to the airport the same day
have local transport included (not mandatory but preferable)

When I was there last time, as far as I remember, "Single Day Ticket" from airport does not allow to return to airport. But may be it was not "Single Day" but "Airport-City Day Ticket".

Honestly speaking, I find Munich transport ticketing quite complicated, please help me to understand and do not pay fines :)

The "Single Day Ticket" is the official name for the Tageskarte for one person, and this should allow return to the airport. As it seems, the "Airport-City Day Ticket" is the same with a special name indicating that the airport may be reached with this ticket (and maybe it's not available at all ticket machines - http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/tickets-fares/tickets/day-tickets/airport-city-day-ticket/index.html).

Maybe you got confused about the tariff zones (Tarifzonen), as it's possible to buy a Single Day Ticket for the city center only, while you need a single day ticket for the entire network, as the airport is in the outmost zone belonging to the MVV (check out http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/fileadmin/media/Dateien/3_Tickets_Preise/dokumente/TARIFPLAN_Gesamtnetz_2017_Englisch_mitLegendeohneRinge.PDF to find the airport in the upper right corner).
