You need to pick the string in such a way as the side of your thumb hits the string just after your pick - there are tutorials on this site and all over the 'net. If you know wsomeone that can do it, seeing it happen might be easier...
Use as much gain as you can and select the bridge pickup. As with everything, there's a knack to it - once you get it it's simple - keep practicing.
Best bet to start are frets 5 - 9 on strings 3 & 4. Adding vibrato and bending make the harmonic louder as well....

I agree with zreynoldsp, but I want to add my own little flavoring. Yes, as mentioned above, pick the string and immediatly after, touch it with your thumb. I would advise using the side of the pick with the thumb barely coming off it. I play a strat, and honestly, it doesn't matter to me which pickup i use, so long as the pickup I set it on, I am playing the harmonic on the area of the string directly above that pickup. Works for me. Another thing, adding vibrato is cool-sounding, but also try doing stuff with the whammy bar (if you have one).
Pleasure.

Sounds awesome with a Floyd Rose... nail the pinch harmonic and slowly rock the Floyd back (As to sharpen the note even more). Zakk Wylde is a great example of a player that uses pinch harmonics a lot.. I just saw him play at OzzFest yesterday and he rocked the house. Also listen to Dimebag... he made good use of this as well.

Here is how I do it:
Fret a note,
Place your thumb on the top side of the string,
Place a heavy pick under the same string
now play the string, giving it a quick twist downwards.
The pinch harmonic is produced by the simultaneous attack to the string; your thumb going down and the pick going up.
Yes, make sure to use heavy distortion.
