Step 2: Open the XrmServiceToolkit folder, you can find the below Javascript files.
Goto Microsoft Dynamics CRM –> Settings –> Customization –> Webresources.
Create jquery, json2 and XrmServiceToolkit javascript webresources. While creating web resources browse for the respective files and provide the path of XRMServiceToolkit.

Step 4: Goto Microsoft Dynamics CRM –> Sales –> Contacts, click on Advance find button. Create new criteria as shown below by clicking on New button,
Step 5: Click on Download Fetch XML button, to get FetchXML code. You can see the below XML,
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false"> <entity name="contact"> <attribute name="fullname" /> <attribute name="telephone1" /> <attribute name="contactid" /> <order attribute="fullname" descending="false" /> <filter type="and"> <condition attribute="fullname" operator="eq" value="Arun Potti" /> </filter> </entity> </fetch>
Step 6: We have to change the format of the above FetchXML to use in Javascript.

" <entity name='contact'>"+

" <attribute name='telephone1' />"+

" <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />"+
" <filter type='and'>"+
" <condition attribute='fullname' operator='eq' value='Arun Potti' />"+
" </filter>"+
" </entity>"+
"</fetch>";
var contactRecords = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Fetch(contactFetchXML);
if (contactRecords.length > 0) {
if (contactRecords[0].attributes.telephone1 != undefined)
alert(contactRecords[0].attributes.telephone1.value);
}
}
Step 8: Add the new_contactJscript Webresource to Form Libraries on contact Form, and add the contactOnload function to Onload Event,
Step 9: Click on Ok. Save & Publish the contact Entity.
