Your approach should work. Here's my version for comparison:

var o = {
    keys: [ ],
   values: [ ]
}

/* 
You could just use the window#location#search value to get the query sub-String of the currently loaded URL

 var q = window.location.search.substring(1) ; 

For now we'll use a query String from a Google search for "MDN window location"
*/

q = "q=mdn+window+location&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a"

for( var i = 0 , a = q.split("&"), p ; i < a.length ; i++ ) {
    p = a[i] ;
    if(  ( b = p.split("=") )  !=  null ) {
        o.keys[i] = b[0] ;
        o.values[i] = b[1] ;
    }
}


console.log("(!!) o: " + o.toSource( ) ) ;
