Just add:

$("#add_fields_placeholderValue").hide();

After your change event declaration on page load.

i.e.

$(document).ready(function()
{
 $("#add_fields_placeholder").change(function()
 {
  if($(this).val() == "Other")
  {
   $("#add_fields_placeholderValue").show();
  }
  else
  {
   $("#add_fields_placeholderValue").hide();
  }
 });
 $("#add_fields_placeholderValue").hide();
});
