In JMeter, you can use counters to generate parameter values. Add your counter to the top of your test plan and choose initial, increment and maximum values. It will start counting automatically.

counter is in Pre Processors menu. You can use the counter values in HTTP samplers by using reference name. i.e. let's say your reference name is ref_counter then you can call its values in HTTP samplers with ${ref_counter}.
