Will the rotary phone wiring work for a modern push button phone or is new
wiring in order? Also, what kind of phone wiring connector(s) is/are
required or needed in order for me to install a wall-mounted push button
phone in the kitchen?

The wires are the same, but the plug, if any, may differ. There are four
wires. Connect the wires to the RJ-45 wall mount jack that is available at
any hardware, home store, etc., then attach the phone to the mount.

RJ45 is 8 wire for network. IIRC a phone connector is RJ11 or RJ14. (The
phone only uses 2 wires of 4 or more in the building phone wiring cable.)

New wall phones often attach to a plate that includes a phone connector
in the middle. You push the phone toward the wall and slide it down
slightly. Find out what the new wall phone requires. Like Floyd wrote -
read the instructions. When buying, info on the package might help.
