Correct spelling, explanation: this form is the correct one, because ending for ordinal number second and any other number ending with second is nd (ending of the number in full-word form is an ending for numeral form). Therefore 32nd is the correct form (thirty-second). This is also why 32th is mistaken (th suffix is used for ordinal numbers ending with th in a word form). 32nd is the correct form.
Definition of 32nd:
numeral, ordinal number between 31st and 33rd

My son was born on my 32nd birthday.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect, because ending th is used only with the numbers which end with th in their word form, so for example sixth, twenty-fourth etc. The correct ending for thirty-second is therefore 32nd, not 32th. Nd ending in second points to 32nd as the correct form.
