Create text-input on button click in form

Question

I want to create another input field, everytime the button "+" inside the form is clicked. I searched for a solution but i can't find anything. The input field should be created inside the form over the "+" button.

Here is my current code:

<div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12">
          <form method="post" id="create-form" action="create.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            <?php
            /* getting sample questions */
            /* checks result and creates variables from result */

            if ($sampleamount > 0) { // amount
              $samplequery->bind_result($questionid_sample, $question_sample);
              while ($samplequery->fetch()) { // while page can use this variables
                /* echo text-box, value from db */
                $required = $questionid_sample === 1 ? "required" : ""; // one question is always required
                echo "<input class='question-box' type='text' name='" . $questionid_sample . "' placeholder='Write your question in here.' maxlength='255' size='70' value='" . $question_sample . "'" . $required . "> <br>";
              }
            } else {
              /* no result (db=sample_question) */
              header('Location: ../index.php');
            }

            $samplequery->close();
            closeDB($conn);

            /* adds more input for user */
            for ($i = ($sampleamount + 1); $i <= ($additionalquestions + $sampleamount); $i++) {
              echo "<input class='question-box' type='text' name='" . $i . "' placeholder='Write your question in here.' maxlength='255' size='70'> <br>";
            }
            ?>
            <br>
            <input class="createsurvey2" type="button" id="addqbtn" name="addqbtn" value="+" >
            <br>
            <input class="createsurvey2" type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Create Survey!" >
          </form>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <script>
            function addquestion() {
              var counter = 2;
              var addqbtn = document.getElementById('addqbtn');
              var form = document.getElementById('create-form');
              var addInput = function() {
                counter++;
                var input = document.createElement("input");
                input.id = 'additionalquestion-' + counter;
                input.type = 'text';
                input.class = 'question-box';
                input.name = 'name';
                input.placeholder = 'Write your question in here.';
                form.appendChild(input);
              };
              addqbtn.addEventListener('click', function(){
                addInput();
              }.bind(this));
            };
          </script>

it now creates an input field, finally. But i need to give a class name to the new created input to look like the input fields above and it also creates the input fields below the "+" button, but it should add them above. Is it possible to do that?

class name now works, but it still adds the inputs below the button, does anyone know how to fix it?
