That doesn't look wrong.
Make sure the template generic-service defines all obligatory values.

What does the error say in detail? (nagios -v output).

This is the way my RDP monitoring is set up:

define service {
        use                             default-service
        host_name                       SERVERNAME
        service_description             RDP
        check_command                   check_tcp!3389
}

define service{
        name                                    default-service
        active_checks_enabled                   1
        passive_checks_enabled                  0
        parallelize_check                       1
        obsess_over_service                     1
        check_freshness                         0
        notifications_enabled                   1
        event_handler_enabled                   0
        flap_detection_enabled                  0
        process_perf_data                       1
        retain_status_information               1
        retain_nonstatus_information            1
        register                                0

        is_volatile                             0
        check_period                            24x7
        max_check_attempts                      5
        normal_check_interval                   5
        retry_check_interval                    1
        contact_groups                          contacts
        notification_interval                   30
        notification_period                     24x7
        notification_options                    c,r
}

define command{
        command_name    check_tcp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
        }

Also make sure, check_tcp is really located under $USER1$.
