Here's some elisp which does them separately... what I use:

(defun now ()
  "Insert string for the current time formatted like '2:34 PM'."
  (interactive)                 ; permit invocation in minibuffer
  (insert (format-time-string "%-I:%M %p"))
)


(defun today ()
  "Insert string for today's date nicely formatted in American style,
e.g. Sunday, September 17, 2000."
  (interactive)                 ; permit invocation in minibuffer
  (insert (format-time-string "%A, %B %e, %Y"))
)

Put these in a file in your emacs path.  Do "M-x today" or "M-x now" to 
invoke.  Also, it should be obvious how to integrate the two.


hth,
ken
