    Hi Mohammed Sharique,

    Try the code below.

    // Change the entity from Account to Contact.
var control = Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldname");
control.getAttribute().setLookupTypes(["contact"]);

// Add the custom view for the lookup field
Xrm.Page.getControl("contact").addCustomView(viewId, entityName, viewDisplayName, fetchXml, layoutXml, true);

    Hope this helps.
