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

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'.
