You can always add user-defined fields.
 
if the intention is to add them to the calendar, it's better to create the
events and link them to the person's contact.

I'd agree with that, but I don't see any evidence in the OP that indicates
that's a goal.
 
Actually, that is my intended goal. How do I add user-defined fields for
this, or create events if the calendar and link them to the contacts?
 
In your Calendar it's similar to making an Appointment, just set it to be an
All Day Event with your time marked as Free. Link it to the Contact using
the Contact button, bottom left corner inside the Event.

The link will show in the Contact's Activities Tab. That's the third Tab
when you open the Contact.
