They were appropriate at his time, but to an extent they also help with rhythm. The word dimm'd is actually dimmed.Lots of Shakespeare words have and apostrophe in it in place of a vowel.

What does the line Neither fair maid if either thee dislike mean in Romeo and Juliet?

Shakespeare and a lot of other poets change the natural order of words around sometimes in order to get the rhythm they want. Also, "Dislike" here would be more easily understood if it were "displease" (The use of "dislike" has changed since Shakespeare's day: where you would now say "I dislike pickled eggs" Shakespeare would say "Pickled eggs would dislike me") And you know, of course, what "thee" means. So when Romeo says "Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike" he means "Neither, fair maid, if either displeases thee."
