I have written a small sub to create log file
sub WriteLogFileLine(sLogFileNameFull, sLogFileLine)
logfolder = "C:\Users\TEMPPAHIR\LearnVB\Logfolder\"
ScriptName1 = Replace(Wscript.ScriptName, ".vbs", "")
sLogFileName = ScriptName1 & "_" & date & "_" & hour(now) & "-" & minute(now) & "-" & second(now) & "_log.txt"
sLogFileNameFull = logfolder & sLogFileName
dateStamp = Now()
Set MyLog = objFSO.OpenTextFile(sLogFileNameFull, 8, True)
MyLog.WriteLine(cstr(dateStamp) + vbTab + "-" + vbTab + sLogFileLine)
MyLog.Close
Set MyLog = Nothing
end sub
I am calling this sub multiple times in my main vb script function to write messages to the log file this way,

But while executing the script sometimes there are multiple log files getting generated, I guess everytime the timestamp is changing it is creating a new log file and writting log in that file.
QUE : I want all the log to be written to one single log file whose timestamp is picked up at the beginning of my script. Please help !!
Your logging function has an argument for the full path to the log file, so you should define the filename once at the beginning of your code and use that name throughout the entire script (I'd recommend doing the same for the FileSystemObject instance). Remove all code defining the filename from the logging function.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
logfolder = "C:\Users\TEMPPAHIR\LearnVB\Logfolder"
ScriptName1 = Replace(Wscript.ScriptName, ".vbs", "")
sLogFileName = ScriptName1 & "_" & Date & "_" & Hour(Now) & "-" & _
Minute(Now) & "-" & Second(Now) & "_log.txt"
logfile = objFSO.BuildPath(logfolder, sLogFileName)
Sub WriteLogFileLine(sLogFileNameFull, sLogFileLine)
Set MyLog = objFSO.OpenTextFile(sLogFileNameFull, 8, True)
MyLog.WriteLine Now & vbTab & "-" & vbTab & sLogFileLine
MyLog.Close
End Sub
...
WriteLogFileLine logfile, "some log line"

You may want to take a look at the logger class I wrote a couple years ago (if you'll forgive the shameless plug). It might help simplify your log handling. Copy the class code into your script and you can do logging like this:
logfolder = "C:\Users\TEMPPAHIR\LearnVB\Logfolder"
logname = Replace(Wscript.ScriptName, ".vbs", "") & "_" & Date & "_" & _
Hour(Now) & "-" & Minute(Now) & "-" & Second(Now) & "_log.txt"
logfile = objFSO.BuildPath(logfolder, logname)
Set clog = New CLogger
clog.LogToConsole = False
clog.LogFile = logfile 'open log
clog.IncludeTimestamp = True
...
clog.LogInfo "some message"
clog.LogError "other message"
...
clog.LogFile = "" 'close log
The log file is closed automatically when the script terminates (if it wasn't already closed in the code before).

I created this to do what you have asked. I use it to keep logs as the scripts run via a scheduled task.

LogDirectory = "E:\LogFiles"

LogFileName = "archive.log"
'The maximun Log file Size in Megabytes
MaxLogFileSize = 5
SetUpLogFile()
DateTimeString = GetCurrentDateTimeString
OutPutFile.WriteLine(DateTimeString + " " + "----------------------------------")
DateTimeString = GetCurrentDateTimeString
OutPutFile.WriteLine(DateTimeString + " " + "Writing to the log file.")
