you can use simple like below

    jQuery(document).ready(function (){

        jQuery('#container').wp_editor();

    });

   add_action('init','my_wpEditOUPUTT');function my_wpEditOUPUTT(){
if (isset($_POST['Give_me_editorrr'])){
    wp_editor( '' , 'txtrID_'.$_POST['myNumber'], $settings = array( 'editor_class'=>'my_class',     'textarea_name'=>'named_'. $_POST['myNumber'],  'tinymce'=>true , 'media_buttons' => true , 'teeny' => false,));
    exit;   
}}

<div id="MyPlace"></div> <a href="javascript:myLoad();">Click to load</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
  startNumber = 1;
  function myLoad(){ alert('wait 1 sec');
  startNumber ++;
  $.post('./index.php', '&Give_me_editorrr=1&myNumber='+startNumber ,
    function(data,status){ 
        if (status == "success") {  
            document.getElementById('MyPlace').innerHTML += data; alert("Inserted!");   
            tinymce.init({ selector: 'txtrID_'+startNumber, theme:'modern',  skin:'lightgray'}); tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddEditor', false, 'txtrID_'+startNumber);
        }
});}

I think the problem is you are using single inverted comma here:

'<?php wp_editor( $content, $editor_id );?>'

and here:

   $content = '';
   $editor_id = 'mycustomeditor';

Try with double inverted commas, and see if that helps.

you nee comment internal char (") and change wp_ by the_ to get string.

in php:

$editorCode = the_editor( $content, $editor_id );

in script replace:

$('#container').append("<?php echo str_replace('"', '\"', $editorCode); ?>");
