Based on your comment:

You got almost everything right with a couple of exceptions. So your getTimeStamp function should look like this:

function getTimeStamp(){
    var timestamp = + new Date();
    return timestamp;
}

That is, because you have to return a value. The other problem is that when you are assigning the value to the datasource item, you don't have to use the keyword new; therefore, it should be like this:

var timestamp = getTimeStamp();
widget.datasource.item.Timestamp_IN = timestamp;

The above is basic javascript. I recommend you to dig into javascript before moving forward with appmaker.
