Google calendar events insert

going out of my mind and hope for some insight-i am inserting an event by way of google javascript and all day event does not seem to want to work-can easily do a single non all day event, but seems as though "date" doesnt work

var strttime = new Date('[@scheduledfor]');

var endtie = new Date('[@scheduledfortime]');
var endtie2 = new Date('2016-12-01');   
var endtie3 = new Date('2016-12-01');      

    var request = gapi.client.calendar.events.insert({
        calendarId: 'cal is correct',

            start:{
            date:new Date('2016-12-11')
},
            end:{
            date:new Date('2016-12-11')

},

any help is appreciated-like i said if i change date to dateTime works no problem, but as soon as i call for date for all day it breaks and returns global not found -even works in the try it of google, have tried end.date, set.start, any help is greatly appreciated

as a result of an answer i have tried this and it doen not work either-returns 404-i have tried before this although will post now

var endtie2 = new Date('2016-12-13');   
var endtie3 = new Date('2016-12-13');          

var request = gapi.client.calendar.events.insert({
        calendarId: 'a good calendar',
        start: {
        date: [endtie3],
        timeZone: 'America/New_York'},
        end: {
        date: [endtie3],
        timeZone: 'America/New_York'},

When you are inserting events in Google Calendar, it is necessary to mention timezone for start and end time.

Try referring to the events.insert sample and the Javascript quickstart from the docs:

// Refer to the JavaScript quickstart on how to setup the environment:
// https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/js
// Change the scope to 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar' and delete any
// stored credentials.

var event = {
  'summary': 'Google I/O 2015',
  'location': '800 Howard St., San Francisco, CA 94103',
  'description': 'A chance to hear more about Google\'s developer products.',
  'start': {
    'dateTime': '2015-05-28T09:00:00-07:00',
    'timeZone': 'America/Los_Angeles'
  },
  'end': {
    'dateTime': '2015-05-28T17:00:00-07:00',
    'timeZone': 'America/Los_Angeles'
  },
  'recurrence': [
    'RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=2'
  ],
  'attendees': [
    {'email': '[email protected]'},
    {'email': '[email protected]'}
  ],
  'reminders': {
    'useDefault': false,
    'overrides': [
      {'method': 'email', 'minutes': 24 * 60},
      {'method': 'popup', 'minutes': 10}
    ]
  }
};

var request = gapi.client.calendar.events.insert({
  'calendarId': 'primary',
  'resource': event
});

request.execute(function(event) {
  appendPre('Event created: ' + event.htmlLink);
});
