what is your exact problem. Based on information and code I cannot reproduce this.
You want to add datetime to what?

Big deal?

Change your code like below(Just need to concatenate the datetime to filename)

C#

try
{
  string strCurrentDateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh.mm");//Change Date time format based on your requirement 
  rpt.ExportToPdf(Server.MapPath("reports\\") + ASPxDropDownEdit1.SelectedItem.Text + "-ConsumableReport" + strCurrentDateTime + ".pdf");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
 //Response.Write(ex.Message);
}

 Attachment attach = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~\\reports") + "\\"  +ASPxDropDownEdit1.SelectedItem.Text + "-ConsumableReport" + strCurrentDateTime + ".pdf");
