The normal way to do this is to use hhc from Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop to build a help project, specified in a .hhp file. You can write the .hpp file yourself, and all its auxiliary files. Or, more commonly, you can use a 3rd party help authoring tool of which there are many.

I don't see where Delphi comes into the building of the .chm file, but if I've missed something then please update your question to add more details.
