    A better translation would be, "I bought next year's calendar"

      Doesn't accept "来年のカレンダーを買いました" entered via IME. Forces you to use "かいました”.

            I wonder if ～ておく could have been introduced here...

                Shoudn't it be "来年に" ?

                    What's the difference between 来年のカレンダ and カレンダの来年?

                      I suspect that カレンダーの来年 doesn't really mean anything, as it would be something like "the next year of calendar"? But years are not "of (or for) calendars", even calendars can be of / for next year.
