Very, very bad idea.

Not because it will release chlorine. There isn't that much chlorine available in a few drops of bleach. And really that's what we want - to get rid of the chlorine so it doesn't bleach the carpet.

No, it's a bad idea because hydrogen peroxide ITSELF bleaches fabric. This is true even for a few drops of household strength hydrogen peroxide. We've used it to soften wax in the ear. That only takes a few drops, but it is guaranteed to stain clothes unless you wrap up well in a towel. (white towel, preferably)
