If you want to insert the date and time into Notepad, press F5.

In addition to the F5 method (which wrt your last paragraph I understand exactly answers your question), you can also use the auto-timestamp feature by starting the file with .LOG

This will ensure the timestamp is added each time you reopen and edit the file.
