get url and add to href in jQuery or JS

on a page i have a link 

<a href="/_l/R/Contact.aspx" id="ctl00_SPLinkbutton1"><span class="ms-splinkbutton-text">Contact</span></a>

I would like to get the current url of the page i'm on and add it to the href.

So if I am on http://mysite.com when I click the link contact above I would go to the page http://mysite.com/_l/R/Contact.aspx?source=http://mysite.com.

Any ideas on how to achieve that in jQuery or JS?

Try this fiddle, 

$("#ct100_SPLinkbutton1").click(function(e) {  
  e.preventDefault();
  document.location.href = $(this).attr("href") + "?source=" + document.location;
})

UPDATED

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="/_l/R/Contact.aspx" id="ctl00_SPLinkbutton1">
    <span class="ms-splinkbutton-text">Contact</span>
</a>
<script>
$('a#ctl00_SPLinkbutton1 span').click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    document.location.href = $(this).attr("href") + "?source=" + document.location;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Get this code to your own html page and test, however same code is not working in fiddle, may there is issue in the fiddle in my network.

How about using document.referrer on your next page to get the source url of your previous page

$('#ct100_SPLinkbutton1').click(function() {    
  window.location += $(this).attr('href') + '?source=' + window.location;
}
