html attribute value to be passed as an argument for a javascript function

I have the following html input attribute which I would like to pass its value as an argument to the function placeBid()

<input type = "number" name = "bidAmount" placeholder = "Bid Amount" required >  

and this is where I would like to pass it:

<input type = "submit"  name = "submit" value = "PLACE BID" onclick="placeBid(bidAmount.value)">  

any help on what I should put in the parameter?
