You can combine all the steps into one expression but the individual
operations still need to be done. You don't need to to pull the
array completely apart and put it back together, just join the first
two columns of the first array and the rank list then flatten the
subelements.
FinalAr=Flatten /@
Transpose[{Ar[[All, {1, 2}]],
With[{len = Length[Ar]}, N[Ordering[Ar, len, #1[[3]] < #2[[3]] &]/=
len]]}]
Alternatively if you don't need the original matrix you can
destructively assign the ranks back into it.
Ar[[All,3]=With[{len = Length[Ar]}, N[Ordering[Ar, len, #1[[3]] < #2=
[[3]] &]/len]]
