If you want to get current user id in crm 2011 form you can use Xrm.Page.context, you have to use
getUserId() method for this you can use it like below

Xrm.Page.context.getUserId()

But if you want to get current user name then you can use below function to retrieve it

function Getinfo() {
var context;
var serverUrl;
var UserID;
var ODataPath;
context = Xrm.Page.context;
serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();
UserID = context.getUserId();
ODataPath = serverUrl + “/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc”;
var retrieveUserReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
retrieveUserReq.open(“GET”, ODataPath + “/SystemUserSet(guid’” + UserID + “‘)”, true);
retrieveUserReq.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application/json”);
retrieveUserReq.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application/json; charset=utf-8″);
retrieveUserReq.onreadystatechange = function () {
retrieveUserReqCallBack(this);
};
retrieveUserReq.send();

}

function retrieveUserReqCallBack(retrieveUserReq) {
if (retrieveUserReq.readyState == 4 /* complete */) {
if (retrieveUserReq.status == 200) {
var retrievedUser = this.parent.JSON.parse(retrieveUserReq.responseText).d;
if (retrievedUser.FullName!= null)
alert(retrievedUser.FullName);

//To check picklist

if(retrievedUser.AccessMode!=null)

alert(retrievedUser.AccessMode.Value); // for picklist we need to check value
}
else {
alert(“Error in Fetching User data”);
}
}
}

Enjoy !!
