I think I see where you are going....try setting the form action instead:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitForm(form) {
document.frm.action="lookup.do"; // <--Change this to not be hard-coded
form.submit();
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>
<form name="frm" action="?" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="">
<select name="crn" onclick="submitForm(this.form)">
<option value="Test" selected>Test</option>
<option value="Test2">Test2</option>
</select>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit">
</form>
