I found this on the MS KB when I was looking for info on the Ntbackup
utility
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set da=%%i
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%

I have the following to be able to add the date to a file name, however I
need to know how to also add the time.
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%i IN ('date /t') DO SET thedate=%%i
SET mm=%thedate:~0,2%
SET dd=%thedate:~3,2%
SET yyyy=%thedate:~6,4%
