Lift is about airflow over the wing. No airspeed, no lift.
Now, if the jet had thrust vectoring, it might be possible if the engine had huge thrust. Or, it was taking off toward hurricane winds. But, until (the vertical component of thrust + lift due to airflow) > (the weight of the plane), it can't take off.
Now, could the treadmill cause air velocity because of a friction effect against the air? That is probably very tiny. Maybe if there were huge fans set up on the treadmill?
