I already tried something similar 
(onClick="$('#input_city').val('{city.uid}');$('#search_form').submit();") 
but it didn't work neither.

For some reason the form.hidden view helper in your code doesn't accept 
the property assignment. I.e. the rendered HTML just looks like this:
<input id="input_city" type="hidden" name="" value="" />
