Also, just as an FYI, this can be achieved without calling the date command:
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- set_fact:
datestamp: "{{ ansible_date_time.date }}"
timestamp: "{{ '%s.%s%s'|format(ansible_date_time.date,
ansible_date_time.hour, ansible_date_time.minute) }}"
- debug:
msg: "{{ item }}"
with_items:
- "{{ datestamp }}"
- "{{ timestamp }}"
