How to bind a javascript function to dynamically added Element on DOM?

Question

I am trying to use some use-full JavaScript code I found in codrop for creating custom select box, but i'm failing to bind this javascript function

(function() {
        [].slice.call( document.querySelectorAll( 'select.cs-select' ) ).forEach( function(el) {
            new SelectFx(el);
        } );
    })();

to dynamically added element.

Let's introduce jQuery .on

$('body').on('click', '.cs-select', function(event) {
  console.log('I fired!!!');
  new SelectFx(this);
});

$('.add').click(function() {
  $('.container').append('<select class="cs-select cs-skin-elastic"><option value="" disabled selected>Select a Country</option><option value="france" data-class="flag-france">France</option><option value="south-africa" data-class="flag-safrica">South Africa</option></select>');
});

But you probably want to trigger a function on the change though right?

UPDATED based on the comment discussion below with what I think is correct. Thanks @squint.

$('.add').click(function() {
  var $newElement = $('<select class="cs-select cs-skin-elastic"><option value="" disabled selected>Select a Country</option><option value="france" data-class="flag-france">France</option><option value="south-africa" data-class="flag-safrica">South Africa</option></select>');

  $('.container').append($newElement);
  new SelectFx($newElement[0]);
});
