You have to do something like this:



$tempColumns = Array (
	'tx_customproducts_extrafield' => Array (
		'exclude' => 1,
		'label' =>
'LLL:EXT:'.CUSTOM_PRODUCTS_EXTkey.'/locallang_db.php:tt_products.tx_customproducts_extrafield',
		'config' => Array (
			'type' => 'input',
			'size' => '30',
			'max' => '256'
		)
	),
);


t3lib_div::loadTCA('tt_products');

t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns('tt_products',$tempColumns,1);
t3lib_extMgm::addToAllTCAtypes('tt_products','tx_customproducts_extrafield;;;;1-1-1');

You have to put each field you want to add into $tempColumns and into
the line addToAllTCAtypes in ext_tables.php.
