If its just the selector you're looking to add to trigger the ajax, then do the following:

echo $this->Form->input('My City', array(
                                 'empty'=>'Select City',
                                 'options' => $cities,
                                 'class' => 'js-ajax'
                        ));

Then you can have your javascript onchange called with this selector

Why you don't use jquery to do this?

put in your webroot and call in your layout(app/view/layouts)

$(document).ready(function(){

    //your code
    $("#youFieldId").change(function(){
        //Your logic
    });


});

You should bind an ajax event to js-ajax 

$('.js-ajax').on('change', function(){
  // do some ajax here.
});
