Build your dashboard with a form input. See the Form with time inputs example in the documentation. You can also look at the Dashboard Examples app, which has a lot of great examples you can use as a basis for your own work.

Are you using Splunk's time range picker as regular date picker? (have two time range picket and selecting a date OR date/time? If that is correct, then you can use the tokens for each time range picker in your search by using any one of $tokenname.earliest$ OR $tokenname.latest$. Which one to use depends on how you're selecting the date.
