I have a form that once submitted will append data to the end of an XML

My code is based on the xml binding sample block and am trying to add this
I guess you mean CForms?
XSP code to get the date and time (works in isolation):
<xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp";> <date><xsp:expr>new Date()</xsp:expr></date> </xsp:page>
I have heard you can generate a date in the sitemap.xmap somehow, is that
true and is it a better approach?
If I do use XSP then I can't see how this binds to the xml file, at a guess
I believe I would need to modify the sitemap somehow.
Don't use XSP at all. Add a fd:output with datatype date to your form definition, but not into the template. Immediately before saving the form set the value of the field to "new Packages.java.util.Date()".
Hmmm, the OP wrote that when the form is submitted, he wants to add to append to the XML file: (1) data from the form, and (2) a timestamp. But putting the timestamp into the form seems roundabout!! :-) The timestamp has nothing to do w/ the form...
