this is a weak point in emacs. For detail, see:

• The Confusion of Emacs's Keystroke Representation
  http://xahlee.org/emacs/keystroke_rep.html

several people have given you answer on how to represent shift-return.

i wanted to add that, key combo like Shift Return is better avoided,
because there's another complexity in emacs with the Enter/Return key,
somewhat tied to Ctrl+m in complex ways. The upshot is that when
trying to define keys with return, you migth run into all sort of
problems or puzzles.
