You need to return an object. so make them all part of that object  
eg

`msg.hour` `msg.year` etc  
Also when sharing code Please read the following post [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506?u=ukmoose) it makes it so much easier to read
