I had a similar issue - what was frustrating is I would do something like this:

$("selectize-input input[placeholder]").attr('placeholder','Hello World!');

Then only after changing the focus it would render my new placeholder text. It turns out that for whatever reason (probably a good one) selectize applies a width to this input.

Final solution:

$(".selectize-input input[placeholder]").attr('placeholder','Hello World!');
$(".selectize-input input[placeholder]").attr("style", "width: 100%;");
