I purchased two U2414H monitors from Dell and am trying to connect them to my laptop (Inspiron 3421) but I don't have a DisplayPort on my laptop.

The laptop has 2-USB 3.0, 1-HDMI, 1-USB 2.0

The monitors have 1-DP (in), 1-miniDP (in), 1-DP (out), 2-HDMI

I have the monitors daisy-chained and bought an HMDI/DisplayPort adapter to connect to the first monitor but I can't get it to pull both monitors.

Is there something I'm missing or will it even work?

For daisy chaining to work, the laptop itself must be connected via display port to the monitor. You cannot use an HDMI cable as it does not support MST.
