i've updated your fiddle to give the new forms unique id's

it's probably not exactly perfect, but should get you going in the right direction.

var uniqueId = 1;
$(function() {
     $('.addRow').click(function() {
         var copy = $("#original").clone(true);
         var formId = 'NewForm' + uniqueId;
         copy.attr('id', formId );


         $('#campaign').append(copy);
         $('#' + formId).find('input,select').each(function(){
            $(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + uniqueId);

         });
         uniqueId++;  
     });
});

basically you copy the form, change it's id, and append it to the div. then you look form all the inputs and selects and append the same uniqueId parameter to their ids.
