Jmeter will not execute Javascript embedded in your web page. However AJAX request is also a HTTP request that Jmeter will be able to run as a separate HTTP request and upon getting the response you can have post processors (using XPATH or REGEX) to extract the session id in a Jmeter variable.

Alternatively you can record the Jmeter scripts using Jmeter proxy and then all the HTTP requests will be recorded for you and you will just need to attach a post processor manually.
