When you combine bleach and ammonia, the two react to form many
toxic products, including chloramine, dichloramine, nitrogen
trichloride and hydrazine. But, if the reaction goes through all
the way, it forms non-toxic nitrogen. The equation is as
followed:
NH3+NaOCl --> NH2Cl+NaOH
NH2Cl+NaOCl --> NHCl2+NaOH
NHCl2+NaOCl --> NCl3+NaOH
NH3+NH2Cl+NaOH --> N2H4+NaCl+H2O
N2H4+2NH2Cl --> 2NH4Cl+N2
I would not recommend it unless you have proper safety
equipment, a fume hood and are doing it under supervision of a
experienced chemist.

Fill the bottle or bucket with tap water. Always add ammonia to
