I have a form that once submitted will append data to the end of an XML file.

My code is based on the xml binding sample block and am trying to add this
I guess you mean CForms?
XSP code to get the date and time (works in isolation):
<xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp";> <date><xsp:expr>new Date()</xsp:expr></date> </xsp:page>
I have heard you can generate a date in the sitemap.xmap somehow, is that
true and is it a better approach?
If I do use XSP then I can't see how this binds to the xml file, at a guess I believe I would need to modify the sitemap somehow.
Don't use XSP at all. Add a fd:output with datatype date to your form definition, but not into the template. Immediately before saving the form set the value of the field to "new Packages.java.util.Date()".
