Here's a working example, change the formatting as needed.
Code:
var d = new Date();
//Build formatted date string, padding single digits with a preceding "0"
var dateString = d.getFullYear()
                 + "-"
                 + ("0" + (d.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)
                 + "-"
                 + ("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2)
                 + " "
                 + ("0" + d.getHours()).slice(-2) 
                 +  ":" 
                 + ("0" + d.getMinutes()).slice(-2);

//Send the date string as keyboard input
sp.SendString(dateString);

Actually, it's easier to use the .NET DateTime class instead:
Code:
sp.SendString(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd"));
sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN);
sp.SendString(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));
sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN);
sp.SendString(DateTime.Now.ToString("yy-MM-dd"));


See here for the formatting options:
