Dynamically add input field using #ajax

As the question says, im not clear on how to go about adding new input fields depending on values of certain fields in the form.

I got as far as setting a callback and a wrapper, but i just can’t seem to rebuild the form, i can do basic returns of values from the callback, but that’s about it.

If anyone could show me a clean, simple way where i could go from, that would be great!

<?php

//Create raffle form
function raffle_create_form($form, &$form_state)
{

    //Basic raffle info
    $form['raf_raffle_name'] = array(
        '#type' => "textfield",
        "#prefix" => "<h5>Raffle information</h5><hr>",
        "#title" => "Raffle Name:",
        "#required" => TRUE
    );

    $form['raf_allowed_number'] = array(
        '#type' => "textfield",
        "#title" => "Number of allowed members",
        "#required" => TRUE,
        '#element_validate' => array('element_validate_number')

    return $form;

    dms('hi');
    return $form['raf_steam_options'];
