Narrative:
On climb out from bwi, we noticed a burning smell along with smoke in the cockpit. Also at that time, the lavatory smoke detector sounded. I told the flight attendant to check the lavatory. When he opened the door, the alarm stopped. After he closed the door the alarm sounded again. We proceeded with the emergency checklist, declared an emergency, and returned to bwi. The passenger were evacuate/evacuationed and no fire or damage was found.
