As everyone told, this doesn't sound the perfect way to do. But, if you are doing this one time, and I hope you have a ALTER TABLE... DROP COLUMN statement before executing this.
Try this, the INSERT statement is now part of the DYNAMIC SQL.
declare
curid NUMBER;
sql_stmt1 varchar2(300);
sql_stmt2 varchar2(300);
BEGIN
sql_stmt1 := 'alter table test12 add lid number';
sql_stmt2 := 'insert into test12 values (12,''hyd'',''sys'',45)';
curid := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(curid, sql_stmt1, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(curid));
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(curid, sql_stmt2, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(curid));
END;
