I'm looking for a function that will go to a specified directory and
look for a file with the name based on the current date and time (such
as 2007-09-03.txt) and open it (or create and open it if it does not
exist).
I know almost no lisp, so any pointers would be welcome.

Have a look at Planner. It does this and many other things; perhaps
it'll suit your needs.

I've been doing just this for several years now. Prompted by your
questions, I (finally) put the code on emacswiki. See:
