OpenID != OpenID Connect (confusing, I know) If you want a canned solution for multiple party federated auth, Google Identity Toolkit seems to be the easiest path. But if you can pick one and one only (most likely Facebook or Google), you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. Most businessy apps can get away with Google auth only. The Google sign in javascript library is really easy to use, and verifying identity on the server side is pretty straightforward too.
