    You can just use:

    ${= new Date().format('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSS Z')}

    What I typically use for needing the exact NOW timestamp in a request (this works for SOAP requests, not sure about REST) is to utilize inline property scripts, as seen below. This will process the exact timestamp of when the request is processed/sent every time. 

     

    ${= Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone('GMT')).format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") }
