No you did not because there is no basis for these moves. You need to know what Black does and act accordingly.
For example, after 1.e4 e5 or 1.e4 c5, the whole point is to stop d4, and if you play d4, you won't get this setup because Black will capture. For example, look at any main line of the Sicilian defense. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 (or 2...Nc6 or 2...e6) 3.d4 cxd4! 4.Nxd4.
In addition, lines like the French, 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5, it's rarely good to play both Knights out early. Often c3 or f4 needs to be played by White, depending on the line.
Caro-Kann, again, early Knight development, particularly the King's Knight, is very rare!
Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel as a beginner, focus on endgames, tactics, positional play, strategy, and opening concepts, and quit worrying about trying to re-invent the wheel.
Who do you think people are going to believe? Grandmasters? Or some random 1042 player trying to claim their 15 minutes of fame and instead looking like a clown doing it!
At your level, you should be asking questions, gaining information and knowledge, not trying to re-invent things and try to show off!
As Avril would say: You're tryin' to be cool, but you look like a fool!
For someone seeking help with openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site.

Perhaps Ca1L would also want to look at Discovering Chess Openings by GM John Emms (2006).
"... For beginning players, [Discovering Chess Openings] will offer an opportunity to start out on the right foot and really get a feel for what is happening on the board. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2006)

"There is no such thing as a 'best opening.' Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

"... Overall, I would advise most players to stick to a fairly limited range of openings, and not to worry about learning too much by heart. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... Once you identify an opening you really like and wish to learn in more depth, then should you pick up a book on a particular opening or variation. Start with ones that explain the opening variations and are not just meant for advanced players. ..." - Dan Heisman (2001)

"... To begin with, only study the main lines ... you can easily fill in the unusual lines later. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... I feel that the main reasons to buy an opening book are to give a good overview of the opening, and to explain general plans and ideas. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... If the book contains illustrative games, it is worth playing these over first ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... the average player only needs to know a limited amount about the openings he plays. Providing he understands the main aims of the opening, a few typical plans and a handful of basic variations, that is enough. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... For inexperienced players, I think the model that bases opening discussions on more or less complete games that are fully annotated, though with a main focus on the opening and early middlegame, is the ideal. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2010)
"... Everyman Chess has started a new series aimed at those who want to understand the basics of an opening, i.e., the not-yet-so-strong players. ... I imagine [there] will be a long series based on the premise of bringing the basic ideas of an opening to the reader through plenty of introductory text, game annotations, hints, plans and much more. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2002)

"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)

We need to know what blacks moves are as well, but my best guess is the first one is developed like guicco piano, not sure on spelling, aka the Italian game or the quiet game.
The secound one looks most like the three knights game including four knights game but I am am amateur only but I'm fine w/ that cuz the definition is someone who plays for the love of the game
Any opening that involves all your pieces being developed while black just hops his knights out and back to the starting place, which is the only way to get to the position in OP's post, is a great opening.
That is the one I use someone tought it to me like 20 years ago .. What's it called?
Also I do than and castle at the end and I found this by searching and saw a pic and I'm like that's what I do trying to see what it's called.

I wrote this on Quora yesterday-
After a lot of thinking, a lot of math, and some research. I came up withe the following openings-
The idea is to add pressure to as many tiles as possible as fast as possible and to castle ASAP. The bishops are different tiles depending if e4 is in danger of being captured.
After playing with this opening I have not found an ideal order or making moves.
If you move e4 first I'd reccomend Nc3. If your opponent does not threaten e4 then play d4.
As a general rule of thumb I'd reccomend to defend first with this opening. You can play however you want after you castle.
Also this opening is just a template, you can obviously play moves in whichever order you see best, or play completely different moves.
This is one of my first answers so if you have any confusion just ask in the comments, and I may later may a "Tree chart" of what moves to make.
*I do not know if this opening has a name or anything about it*
