You accomplish a task or duty. It is synonymous with fulfil. You don't accomplish to do or do something. Accomplish plus -ing is unusual. Perhaps you could use it if the task was a gerund. But I would try to avoid this kind of collocation. You may have translated from a Spanish word which can be used like e.g. manage to do. If you are thinking of a verb like conseguir, then its usage corresponds closely with "manage + to infinitive", not "accomplish".

I understand. If you want to try using new verbs, then I recommend that you first read lots of example sentences in dictionaries and sentence databases like fraze.it Note how the verb is used in context and also the syntax of the sentence including related verbs, prepositions, and objects. Then you will have a better idea if you can use this verb in the same way as in Spanish, and if not, how you can actually use it. In my experience, efforts to sound more sophisticated often result in a mess and I am guilty of doing this in Italian.

I would say " accomplish doing''. (''accomplish to do" is not correct)

No, "accomplish do" is not used at all. However, for example: " I could help you do your homework." is correct. Often "to do" and " to accomplish" are interchangeable, but "to accomplish" is more like "lograr'' or ''realizar''. I hope that makes sense. :-)

The simple answer - as Michael has explained - is that neither of these is correct! We don't follow 'accomplish' with a verb at all. 'Accomplish' is followed by a noun - you accomplish SOMETHING, such as a task. Possible expression with verbs are 'manage to do' or 'succeed in doing'.
