    In a groovy script you can use the following to get today's datetime:

      date = new Date()
     
    You can then modify this into the format you desire with something along the lines of:
     
      dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMdd-kkmmss')
      shortDate = dateFormat.format(date)

    You can then use this as required - passing it into a parameter or whatever else you need.
    Hope that helps.
