Problem :

  1. You don't need to create img tag to apply background-image in CSS Style
  2. You are applying only image path

Solution : You need to apply image path between URL() just like normal CSS background image applies

Check below code :

var images = ['https://picsum.photos/200/300/?random', 'https://picsum.photos/200/300/?random', 'https://picsum.photos/200/300/?random'];
var index = 0;

function buildImage() {
    document.getElementById('content').style.backgroundImage = 'url('+images[index]+')';
}

function changeImage() {
    index++;
    if (index >= images.length) index = 0;
    document.getElementById('content').style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + images[index] + ')';
}
.contents {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    border: 2px solid #FF0000;
}
<div class="contents" id="content"></div>
<button onclick="changeImage()">NextImage</button>

Variable/property names can't have hyphens in them (the interpreter would see that as "subtraction", but that wouldn't make sense). The corresponding property for background-image in the JavaScript DOM API is backgroundImage:

function buildImage() {
  var img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = images[index];
  document.getElementById('content').style.backgroundImage = (img);
}

Change 

document.getElementById('content').style.background - image = (img);

to:

document.getElementById('content').style.backgroundImage = (img);

in js, you must change first character after - to upper case. for example:

in css: border-style

in js: borderStyle
