Reading between the lines - I think you want to know the ID for other
reasons than just entering the data.
The easiest way of doing this is to get the value first, and then use it
in the insert(s)

"SELECT GEN_ID( CONTENT_ID_GEN, 1 ) FROM RDB$DATABASE"
Returns a generator number that you can then use.

At present there is no way to 'return' anything after an insert, but
this is the proper way to do it anyway. Just call the generator SELECT
once you know you need to INSERT.
