I would like to provide a thumb to most common file types: images (i can already do that, haha) documents: .zip, .doc, .xls, ... videos: .avi, .mpg, .flv, .. and maybe others, is there a nice plugin to do so? (if needed) my website its built with PHP/JS

Yes, it is possible and no, there is no nice plugin for it AFAIK.

Every file has its own "encoding", so you basically need to "decode" every file, which is a nontrivial task.
