You will need to build library files for the non-standard residues with head
and tail atoms defined and then they will get bound into the chain. You will
also need to provide parameters for everything, especially the connections.
If these are simply modified amino acids you are probably best off starting
with analogy to the existing FF99SB force field. The missing parameters you
will either need to find in the literature, derive yourself or guess!. Note
are you sure this has a N-N bond? Sounds pretty unstable to me.
Take a look at this tutorial
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial1_adv/ which will give you an
idea about how to create custom residues in leap etc.
All the best
Ross
