• If using wmic.exe is an option, I would like to suggest this code to adjust your variable and output layout...

@echo off && setlocal enabledelayedexpansion 

for /f "tokens=2delims==." %%i in ('
%__APPDIR__%\wbem\wmic OS Get LocalDateTime /value^|%__APPDIR__%findstr [0-9]')do set "dt=%%~i"

set "day=!dt:~6,2!"
set "mth=!dt:~4,2!"
set "yr=!dt:~0,4!"
set "hur=!dt:~8,2!"
set "min=!dt:~10,2!"

echo/[!day!-!mth!-!yr!]-[!hur!-!min!]

endlocal && goto :EOF
