1.It was on January 31st when he came here last time.
for second sentence I'm not sure but I think it's better to use "whether" instead of "should".

31th?:shock:
It's "31st", isn't it?

Yes, I had edited it before.
Thank you for your attention.

1.It was on January 31st when he came here last time.

"That" is also correct. In formal writing, "that" is more appropriate than "when".

1.It was on January the thirty first (when/that) he came here last time.

2.It's hard for me to decide should I go to play or to bed. This is OK.


Thanks!

#1 is not natural. We would say "He last came here on January (the) 31st" or "January (the) 31st was the last time he came here".

For the second sentence I would say:

It's hard for me to decide whether I should play or go to bed.

1.It was on January 31st that he came here last time.
2.It was January 31st when he came here last time.
3.It was January 31st that he came here last time.
4.It was on January 31st when he came here last time.

I think 1 is a cleft sentence,and the first two sentences are correct,the last two are not grammatical.
Is that right? Thanks!
