You can use virtual pageviews. For each step of the process, add a call to
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/ajax-contactForm/PAGE-or-STEP-NAME.html']);
This will register as a pageview and can be used as a step in the goal.
See virtual pageviews in the GA docs.
Or, to set it up as an event goal as Eduardo suggested, see The New Google Analytics: Events Goals
