And what is the procedure to display the time as well.

Quote from info section "(org) Creating Timestamps":


    8.2 Creating Timestamps
    =======================

    For Org mode to recognize timestamps, they need to be in the specific
    format.  All commands listed below produce timestamps in the correct
    format.

    ‘C-c .’ (‘org-time-stamp’)
         Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding timestamp.  When point
         is at an existing timestamp in the buffer, the command is used to
         modify this timestamp instead of inserting a new one.  When this
         command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted.

         When called with a prefix argument, use the alternative format
         which contains date and time.  The default time can be rounded to
         multiples of 5 minutes.  See the option
         ‘org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes’.

         With two prefix arguments, insert an active timestamp with the
         current time without prompting.

    ‘C-c !’ (‘org-time-stamp-inactive’)
         Like ‘C-c .’, but insert an inactive timestamp that does not cause
         an agenda entry.

`M-x org-time-stamp' which is bound to `C-c .'

C-c .  (it runs the command org-time-stamp)

To find that out, you can do `C-h a' and then time.*stamp (it is a
bit unfortunate for discoverability that timestamp is sometimes
spelt `timestamp' and sometimes `time-stamp' in commands).

Have simply done "M-x today" and I got

<2020-11-17 T19:34:33>

Is this documented somewhere? Is it possible to get the Week-Number?

Hm. Doesn't work for me. The function must be a present by a package
I don't have :-)

Just query the function's docstring -- then you might see its
whereabouts:

  C-h f today
