"Failed to automatically set-up a JavaFX Platform.Please go to Platform Manager, create a non-default Java SE platform, then go to the JavaFX tab,enable JavaFX and fill in the paths to valid JavaFX SDK and JavaFX Runtime. Note: JavaFX SDK can be downloaded from JavaFX website"

How can I solve this issue?

Just use NetBeans 8 (which has got rid of the confusing JavaFX Platform requirement).

From the NetBeans 8 Installation Instructions:

Unlike previous versions of NetBeans IDE, NetBeans IDE 8.0 does not require that you set up an "FX-enabled" Java platform in order to utilize JavaFX support in the IDE. You can develop JavaFX projects in the IDE if you install any standard Java platform that is JDK 7 Update 6 (or newer) or JDK 8.

On their Java download site, Oracle provide a co-bundle of NetBeans 8 + Java 8 (Java 8 includes JavaFX 8). I advise you just use the co-bundle. Also grab a copy of SceneBuilder 2 and you should be good to go with all of the tools you need for JavaFX development.
