Damnit could be used, though you're better off with "dammit" or "damn it". As per Wiktionary:
damnit
Nonstandard contraction of damn + it
Interjection (especially southern US)
Common misspelling of dammit.
Edit: As my answer points out, "damnit" is considered a misspelling of the more popular "dammit", which confirms ЯegDwight♦'s data.
