You can rely on the auto generated id from the form library on SharePoint, that will always have starting id with 1.
The only thing you should do is get the id within form data after submitting to library as it is generated only after that.

So, you would go for following steps:
1. create id field in infopath form
2. publish the form by promoting that field as editable in the form library
3. create a very small workflow on item added and set the id field to item id

Thus, you will have auto generated id of each form...
