My guess is that a time input this complex isn't easily answered. You should probably build some prototypes and test, as well as checking with your potential users as to what kinds of time inputs they are familiar with and expect.
Another relevant question will be how often this needs to be done. If it's infrequent (as in a google calendar appointment) then a visual click-based UI might work well. For frequent users consider making keyboard shortcuts (e.g. l (ell) 30 meaning 'last 30 days'). If you provide multiple means of input ask the developers to put in simple counters to keep track of which method(s) get used the most.
