I don't understand what you want to achieve, maybe you are trying to do it on the wrong path.

You're trying to build a nested form, with the possibility of adding N children to the parent form. When you build a new child object in memory, you need to create a form for that object dynamically. There's a Railscast about this idea, which you may find useful: http://media.railscasts.com/assets/episodes/videos/196-nested-model-form-revised.mp4

Here's a link to the article about that screencast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/196-nested-model-form-revised

Please note that these videos are very old, and the specific details may differ from modern Rails practice, but the ideas underlying them are sound, and still hold up today.
