Here i have used jQuery to create dynamic input fields

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  console.log("my custom js");

  function hideDeleteButton() {
    $("tbody").find(".btn-delete").first().hide();
  }

  hideDeleteButton();

  $("tbody").on("click", ".btn-add", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var currentRow = $(this).closest(".tb-row");
    var clonedRow = $("tbody").find(".tb-row").last().clone();
    clonedRow.find("input").val("");
    currentRow.after(clonedRow);
    $(".btn-delete").show();
    hideDeleteButton();
    updateSNumber();
  });

  updateSNumber();

  function updateSNumber() {
    $("tbody")
      .find(".tb-row")
      .each(function(index) {
        console.log(index);
        $(this).find("td:first").text(index);
      });
  }

  $("tbody").on("click", ".btn-delete", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).closest(".tb-row").remove();
    updateSNumber();
  });

  $();
});

Here is a sample HTML & JS code

$(document).ready(()=>{
    let template = `<div class='item'><input type="text" name="items[]" placeholder="Enter Something" /><button class="remove">X</button></div>`; 

    $("#add").on("click", ()=>{
        $("#items").append(template);
    })
    $("body").on("click", ".remove", (e)=>{
        $(e.target).parent("div").remove();
    })
});
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js" integrity="sha256-oP6HI9z1XaZNBrJURtCoUT5SUnxFr8s3BzRl+cbzUq8=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<div class='item'>
   <input type="text" name="items[]" placeholder="Enter Something">
   <button id="add">Add +</button>
</div>
<div id="items"></div>

You can try this:

<input type="hidden" name="image" id="input-image{{ image_row }}" />

inputt= '<input type="hidden" name="product_image' value="somevalue">

$("#input-image"+row).remove().append(inputt);

You can also use something like this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

        width: 100%;
        margin-bottom: 20px;
        border-collapse: collapse;
    }
    table, th, td{
        border: 1px solid #cdcdcd;

        // Find and remove selected table rows

                }
            });
        });
    });

Another solution could be: 

<script>
$(document)
        .ready(
                function() {
                    var wrapper = $(".myFields");
                    $(add_button)
                            .click(
                                    function(e) {
                                        e.preventDefault();
                                        $(wrapper)
                                                .append(
                                                        '.....'); //add fields here
                                    });
                    $(wrapper).on("click", ".delFld", function(e) {
                        e.preventDefault();
                        $(this).parent('div').remove();
                    })
                });

I took the liberty of putting together a jsFiddle illustrating the functionality of building a custom form using jQuery. Here it is...

EDIT: Updated the jsFiddle to include remove buttons for each field.

EDIT: As per the request in the last comment, code from the jsFiddle is below.

EDIT: As per Abhishek's comment, I have updated the jsFiddle (and code below) to cater for scenarios where duplicate field IDs might arise.

HTML:

<fieldset id="buildyourform">
    <legend>Build your own form!</legend>
</fieldset>
<input type="button" value="Preview form" class="add" id="preview" />
<input type="button" value="Add a field" class="add" id="add" />

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#add").click(function() {
        var lastField = $("#buildyourform div:last");
        var intId = (lastField && lastField.length && lastField.data("idx") + 1) || 1;
        var fieldWrapper = $("<div class=\"fieldwrapper\" id=\"field" + intId + "\"/>");
        fieldWrapper.data("idx", intId);
        var fName = $("<input type=\"text\" class=\"fieldname\" />");
        var fType = $("<select class=\"fieldtype\"><option value=\"checkbox\">Checked</option><option value=\"textbox\">Text</option><option value=\"textarea\">Paragraph</option></select>");
        var removeButton = $("<input type=\"button\" class=\"remove\" value=\"-\" />");
        removeButton.click(function() {
            $(this).parent().remove();
        });
        fieldWrapper.append(fName);
        fieldWrapper.append(fType);
        fieldWrapper.append(removeButton);
        $("#buildyourform").append(fieldWrapper);
    });
    $("#preview").click(function() {
        $("#yourform").remove();
        var fieldSet = $("<fieldset id=\"yourform\"><legend>Your Form</legend></fieldset>");
        $("#buildyourform div").each(function() {
            var id = "input" + $(this).attr("id").replace("field","");
            var label = $("<label for=\"" + id + "\">" + $(this).find("input.fieldname").first().val() + "</label>");
            var input;
            switch ($(this).find("select.fieldtype").first().val()) {
                case "checkbox":
                    input = $("<input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"" + id + "\" name=\"" + id + "\" />");
                    break;
                case "textbox":
                    input = $("<input type=\"text\" id=\"" + id + "\" name=\"" + id + "\" />");
                    break;
                case "textarea":
                    input = $("<textarea id=\"" + id + "\" name=\"" + id + "\" ></textarea>");
                    break;    
            }
            fieldSet.append(label);
            fieldSet.append(input);
        });
        $("body").append(fieldSet);
    });
});

CSS:

body
{
    font-family:Gill Sans MT;
    padding:10px;
}
fieldset
{
    border: solid 1px #000;
    padding:10px;
    display:block;
    clear:both;
    margin:5px 0px;
}
legend
{
    padding:0px 10px;
    background:black;
    color:#FFF;
}
input.add
{
    float:right;
}
input.fieldname
{
    float:left;
    clear:left;
    display:block;
    margin:5px;
}
select.fieldtype
{
    float:left;
    display:block;
    margin:5px;
}
input.remove
{
    float:left;
    display:block;
    margin:5px;
}
#yourform label
{
    float:left;
    clear:left;
    display:block;
    margin:5px;
}
#yourform input, #yourform textarea
{
    float:left;
    display:block;
    margin:5px;
}

In your click function, you can write:

function addMoreRows(frm) {
   rowCount ++;
   var recRow = '<p id="rowCount'+rowCount+'"><tr><td><input name="" type="text" size="17%"  maxlength="120" /></td><td><input name="" type="text"  maxlength="120" style="margin: 4px 5px 0 5px;"/></td><td><input name="" type="text" maxlength="120" style="margin: 4px 10px 0 0px;"/></td></tr> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="removeRow('+rowCount+');">Delete</a></p>';
   jQuery('#addedRows').append(recRow);
}

Here is my JSFiddle with corrected line breaks, or see it below.

$(document).ready(function() {

var MaxInputs       = 2; //maximum extra input boxes allowed
var InputsWrapper   = $("#InputsWrapper"); //Input boxes wrapper ID
var AddButton       = $("#AddMoreFileBox"); //Add button ID

var x = InputsWrapper.length; //initlal text box count
var FieldCount=1; //to keep track of text box added

//on add input button click
$(AddButton).click(function (e) {
        //max input box allowed
        if(x <= MaxInputs) {
            FieldCount++; //text box added ncrement
            //add input box
            $(InputsWrapper).append('<div><input type="text" name="mytext[]" id="field_'+ FieldCount +'"/> <a href="#" class="removeclass">Remove</a></div>');
            x++; //text box increment

            $("#AddMoreFileId").show();

            $('AddMoreFileBox').html("Add field");

            // Delete the "add"-link if there is 3 fields.
            if(x == 3) {
                $("#AddMoreFileId").hide();
                $("#lineBreak").html("<br>");
            }
        }
        return false;
});

$("body").on("click",".removeclass", function(e){ //user click on remove text
        if( x > 1 ) {
                $(this).parent('div').remove(); //remove text box
                x--; //decrement textbox

                $("#AddMoreFileId").show();

                $("#lineBreak").html("");

                // Adds the "add" link again when a field is removed.
                $('AddMoreFileBox').html("Add field");
        }
    return false;
}) 

});

why not remove the .after() in the line

newTextBoxDiv.after().html('<label>Textbox #'+ counter + ' : </label>' +

to 

newTextBoxDiv.html('<label>Textbox #'+ counter + ' : </label>' +

you can do it as follow:

 $("#addButton").click(function () {

    if(counter>10){
            alert("Only 10 textboxes allow");
            return false;
    }   

    var newTextBoxDiv = $(document.createElement('div'))
         .attr("id", 'TextBoxDiv' + counter);

    newTextBoxDiv.after().html('<label>Textbox #'+ counter + ' : </label>' +
          '<input type="text" name="textbox' + counter + 
          '" id="textbox' + counter + '" value="" >');

    newTextBoxDiv.appendTo("#TextBoxesGroup");


    counter++;
     });

     $("#removeButton").click(function () {
    if(counter==1){
          alert("No more textbox to remove");
          return false;
       }   

    counter--;

        $("#TextBoxDiv" + counter).remove();

     });

You need to create the element.

input = jQuery('<input name="myname">');

and then append it to the form.

jQuery('#formID').append(input);

to remove an input you use the remove functionality.

jQuery('#inputid').remove();

This is the basic idea, you may have feildsets that you append it too instead, or maybe append it after a specific element, but this is how to build anything dynamically really.
