Try setting it as an attribute..

 $('#test').attr('data-id' , 'Next');   // JQuery

You can also try the setAttribute() ..

var d = document.getElementById(test);  //   Javascript

d.setAttribute('data-id' , 'Next');       //

Using this approach will reflect the new attribute in the DOM

In your code
You are trying to set the attribute which is not present .. So you need to add the attribute first to add that ..
