If you may get html tag select by Id or in other way, you no need to use id inside them. Enough apply $(el).val() and get selected value.

$(document).ready(function() {
        var el = $('#select_el');
        //value after page rendering
        console.log(el.val());
        //value after select event
        el.change(function(){
            console.log(el.val());
        });
    });

You could use the start with selector ^= like :

$('[id^="select2-account"] option:selected').val(); //value
//Or
$('[id^="select2-account"] option:selected').text(); Text

This way you will always focusing on the fixed static part in your id.
