Button on Lead to create two records on two custom objects using field information from Lead

I have a requirement to create a button on the lead object that creates two custom object records with fields pre-opulated from the Lead record. Can someone provide me a sample code to start with?

Using custom javascript button you can able to do that.
  • Navigate to Customize | Lead| Button, Links and Actions
  • Create new button of type “Detail Page Button” , behavior “Execute Javascript” and content source “Onclick JavaScript”.
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/33.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/33.0/apex.js")} 

//Custom Object 1
var customObj = new sforce.SObject("CustomObject1__c"); // Your custom object name
customObj.Id = '{!Lead.Id}';
customObj.Name = '{!Lead.Name}';
var result = sforce.connection.create([customObj]);

if(result[0].getBoolean("success")){
   alert('New record updated successfully');
}
else{
  alert('Error : '+result);
}
