Answer 1

Use serialize() method when form is submit.

Answer 2

You have a syntax mistake when you use the jquery selector to a jquery object, when you select your form you must use it lately like this:

var form = $('#contact-form'); //and then use it directly in the ajax call like this
form.serialize(); // not $(form).serialize()

Here is your fiddle updated https://jsfiddle.net/ingemi/kbpnmptw/ you must use serialize directly in the ajax call
