Below is the code I use to insert the current time into a buffer. I
think you can use it as a basis for your needs.
Ehud.
(defvar current-date-time-format " %d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S "
"Format of date to insert with `insert-current-date-time' func
See help of `format-time-string' for possible replacements")
(defun insert-current-date-time ()
"insert the current date and time into current buffer.
Uses `current-date-time-format' for the formatting the date/time."
(interactive)
(insert (format-time-string current-date-time-format (current-time))))
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-d" 'insert-current-date-time) ;^C^D - insert date-time
