AFAIK, this cannot be scripted via the Finder. It may be possible though if you can find an application that can edit .plist. Seems the Property List Editor is not scriptable maybe you can find another. Also, you'll need to be able to get alias and path data for the folderitem.

The file you need to edit is:

com.apple.finder.plist

It is in the user/Library/Preferences folder. Carefully open it in the Property List editor application. Click the Root / Toolbaritems arrows, then one of the numbered list items and filedata. This is the entry for the toolbar item.

What would be needed is an OSAX that does this.

Good luck.

Does anyone know if you can script adding an alias to the toolbar of a
window? I would like Applescript to automatically add an alias shortcut to
my toolbar of the current folder that I am working in. Any info would help.
Thank You!
