I have a Table1(userid varchar(10),dt DateTime)

I want to insert row like this

declare @userId varchar(10)
declare @sql varchar(100)
declare @datetime varchar(10)
set @userId =2
set @datetime ='14/05/2015';
set @sql='insert into Table1('+'UserId'+','+'dt'+')'+ '
values('+@userId+','+''''+@datetime+'''' +')' 
       EXEC sp_executesql @sql

Error is
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value

Your dynamic query looks OK, but conversion between varchar data type to datetime data type failed, becuase the SQL Server uses different dateformat.

See: SET DATEFORMAT (instruction)[^]

SQL

declare @datetime varchar(10)
set @datetime ='14/05/2015'

SET DATEFORMAT dmy;
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, @datetime) AS MyDate

Now, you should be able to add daata.

Suggested correction for your query code:

SQL

declare @userId varchar(10)
declare @sql varchar(100)
declare @datetime varchar(10)
set @userId =2
set @datetime ='14/05/2015';
set @sql= 'SET DATEFORMAT dmy;' +
    'insert into Table1(UserId, dt)'+
    'values(' + @userId + ',''' + @datetime + ''')'
       EXEC sp_executesql @sql
