Just append an input element:

$('form').append('<input type="hidden" name="newParam" value="Hello" />');

i tried that but i can't see the hidden parameter in the string produced by form.serialize() .

@Bunny Rabbit: Did you make sure the element had the name attribute? Maybe you could post the whole code that you tried?
