    var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();
    var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();

    this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
    clientContext.load(collListItem, 'Include(CustomSingelLookupFld, CustomMultilLookupFld)');
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
 var listInfo = "";
    var listItemEnumerator = collListItem.getEnumerator();

    while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
        var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();

   listInfo += "oCustomSingelLookupFld[" + ix + "].Value = " + oCustomMultilLookupFld[ix].get_lookupValue() + " \t oCustomSingelLookupFld[" + ix + "].Id = " + oCustomMultilLookupFld[ix].get_lookupId();
