1. Do not use sms words like "plz". You have enough time to type "Please". 2. Why don't you use DateTime.Now instead of Today?

Solution 2

Try below code:

C#

hdfCreatedOn.Value = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now); 
hdfCreatedOn.Value = String.Format("{0:g}", DateTime.Now);  // "6/27/2012 4:32 PM"
hdfCreatedOn.Value = String.Format("{0:G}", DateTime.Now);  // "6/27/2012 4:32:07 PM"
