Thanks for your suggestions.
Now I got the .itp file for frmyl+valine(the next residue).

This is the .itp file got from the SwissParam.
[ atoms ] 
; nr type resnr resid atom cgnr charge mass 
  1 C=O  1  LIG C       1  0.5700  12.0110 
   2 O=C  1  LIG O       2 -0.5700  15.9994 
   3 NC=O 1  LIG N       3 -0.7301  14.0067 
   4 CR   1  LIG CA      4  0.1941  12.0110

  11 HCMM 1  LIG H      11  0.0600   1.0079 
  12 HNCO 1  LIG H1     12  0.3700   1.0079 
  13 HCMM 1  LIG HA     13  0.0000   1.0079 
  14 HCMM 1  LIG HB     14  0.0000   1.0079 
  15 HCMM 1  LIG HG11   15  0.0000   1.0079 
  16 HCMM 1  LIG HG12   16  0.0000   1.0079 
  17 HCMM 1  LIG HG13   17  0.0000   1.0079

  20 HCMM 1  LIG HG23   20  0.0000   1.0079 

Now I made this .rtp file as below:
 [ For ]
 [ atoms ]
;      name    type     charge   chargegroup
        C       CTL1     0.5700        0
        O       O           -0.5700        0
        H       HC         0.06              0
 [angles ]
  ai    aj    ak   
  O     C     +N 
  O     C      H
  O    
 C     +N

 [ bonds ]
     C      O    
     C     +N
     C      H
 
 [ dihedrals ]
  O     C   +N   +CA 
  H     C   +N   +H 
  H     C   +N   +H

You
 know, actually I want to get a correct .itp file to use it later the 
parameters later if it is needed. would you suggest me about this file?

Sincerely,
Shima

>Now, I think that it's better to add the N atom of next residue  to the .pdb file and then add hydrogen atoms to its .mol2 format. Because when I open formyl.pdb in  chimera software and add hydrogens to it, it becomes an formaldehyde and then I get the a wrong parameters in .itp file by using SwissParam. So I didn't remove the N  atom which connects to the C of formyl. Now I got this .itp file:

Since you can't have a double bond with that many bonded hydrogen
    atoms present, no.

Like Justin has suggested, one approach is to take the whole residue
    adjacent to formyl and parameterise all of it. Another would be to
    take the acetyl group for that force field and assign the total
    charge of the methyl group to the hydrogen of your formyl - but this
    has obvious shortcomings.

Only if you think the carbonyl group forming an amide bond consists
    only of atoms with equivalent electronegativity. Any model that does
    not have partial negative charge on the oxygen will be not worth the
    time to write down.
