But, i want to create a widget and setting value by two separete statements,
Technically, that's possible, but the order has to be the other way round: 
# Set value
my $widgetValue = "I'd like this to be the value";
# Create widget
textfield(-name=>'txt1', -id=>'txt1',-value=>$widgetValue);

But to more helpfully answer what you're trying to acheive: you're barking up the wrong tree here.

param() reads/overwrites any value which was sent from the browser when it sent the HTTP request. By contrast, textfield() will produce an HTML string which can be sent to the browser as an HTTP response. The two functions operate completely independently, even if the name field happens to be the same.

Thinking about it, I cannot work out what you might be trying to do. Try explaining the problem a bit more generally (rather than asking why your solution is not working) and we might be able to point you in a different direction.
