Can you just use PlotShapes, comparing the user date with DateNum? 
Enter parameter values in DateNum format ( see 
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=37 ).

D1 = Param("D1", 1081108, 1080101, 1081231, 1);
D2 = Param("D2", 1081108, 1080101, 1081231, 1);

Plot(Close, "Close", colorRed);
PlotShapes(IIF(D1 == DateNum(), shapeStar, shapeNone), colorGreen);
PlotShapes(IIF(D2 == DateNum(), shapeSquare, shapeNone), colorBlue);

The above will draw a star on the first user date and a square on the 
second user date.
