You can use (the time format adapted of course)

(defun insert-timestamp ()
  "German timestamp insertion function."
  (interactive)
  (insert (format-time-string "%H:%M %d.%m.%Y")))

(defun insert-date()
  "German date insertion function."
  (interactive)
  (insert (format-time-string "%d.%m.%Y")))

There was also a niftier version, probably in gnu.emacs.sources, that
uses different formats depending on arguments.

Is this what you are looking for?
