It is possible to use google cloud DNS and white label the nameservers so that instead of using:

ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-a2.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-a3.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-a4.googledomains.com.

I could use something like:

ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
ns3.mydomain.com
ns4.mydomain.com

Or how safe/easy is to use Amazon approach for this: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/white-label-name-servers.html.

What about creating an A record similar to the IP's of ns-cloud-* to custom domain, something like:

ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com  IN A 216.239.32.106

to

ns1.mydomain.com IN A 216.239.32.106

any ideas?

You will need glue records for the IP addresses of your nsX.mydomain.com nameservers (216.239.32.106 etc). This resolves the catch-22 of a client trying to resolve a host under your domain finding it needs to resolve the DNS name of your nameserver in order to contact it. Your registrar should be able to help you with this.
