I suppose you should remove the javascript for basic testing first... and after it is working, then add the javascript at various places, one by one !

input & textarea don't have name="" attributes.

input name="cf_name" 
input name="cf_email"  
textarea name="cf_message"

Looks like your input field names don't match the post values the php file is expecting ($cf_name, etc.) also have you set the recipient email ($mail_to ) to yours ?

Btw never use values people post in a form without sanitizing them!

recipient email is not a real address.
