-> CurDate: Set text to Date.ToDateString(Date.Now) & " " & Date.ToLocaleTimeString(Date.Now)

This is how to do it using Constructs built in Date object.
Try Construct 3

Sorry, you're right, I didn't notice this was in the Construct 2 forum. I just saw it under the unanswered questions.

In Construct 2, you would do something like this:

-> CurDate: Set text to left(Browser.ExecJS("Date()"), 24)

This gives this result for me right now:

I believe the time is displayed in 24 hour format so instead of am/pm, you get a value between 0 and 23. If you need the date formatted exactly the way it is in your post, you will either have to modify it yourself or see if there is a plugin that will do it for you. I believe there is a pretty good date plugin from RexRainbow you could look at.
