Probably, but here is some elisp to do it:

(insert (format-time-string "%c"))

You can bind this to a key like:

(defun jmh::insert-time-and-date ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (format-time-string "%c")))

(global-set-key (kbd "A-d") 'jmh::insert-time-and-date)

Which would use Alt-d as the keybinding.
