Although not a complete answer to your question, there are shortcut keys in Excel to change the formatting of the selected cell(s) to either Date or Time (unfortunately, I haven't found one for Date+Time).

So, if you're just looking for dates, you can perform the following:

1. Copy range from SQL Server Management Studio

3. Select the range of cells that you need formatted as Dates
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+3

For formatting as Times, use Ctrl+Shift+2.
