Here is what I do.

I have this in my Emacs config:

(setq calendar-mark-diary-entries-flag t)

And I use a simple ~/.diary file containing this:

%%(org-diary :scheduled :deadline :sexp :timestamp) ~/org/rdv.org

That way, each time I open the calendar, days with
scheduled/deadlined/timestamped entries in rdv.org
are highlighted.

This is not perfect because it does not tell the time
of these appointments -- so I just added a new binding 
in the Org read date prompt: you can now use `?' to view
the diary entries on the  date the cursor here.

HTH,
