If you are using the google calendar nodes in node-red-node-google. The info panel for the node describes the msg properties you need to set.
If you are having difficulties I would check you can read a calendar event.
If you can't check you have enabled the Google plus api as well as the calendar apis (see pre-requisites in the Read Me)

I'm using the bluemix app and made the dowload of a google calendar Node. The credentials are ok cuz already show my name in google calendar output node. But I dont know how the format of my msg.payload to create the event in the calendar.

Then look at the Info panel and follow the links, you have two options
either a string in quick format
or an object containing the parameters as per the link
There are two links to google pages that explain the formats

At a guess, the clue is in the error message. You are trying to create a standard entry which should have a duration (hence times not just dates). I would also guess that if you want to create an all-day entry, you are missing a flag of some kind.
