It's possible. By using a JQuery function, you can have a really complete solution.

Here is an example.

HTML

Date:

JQuery:

//Function found here: https://gist.github.com/ryanburnette/8803238

$.fn.setNow = function (onlyBlank) {

var now = new Date($.now())

, year

, month

, date

, hours

, minutes

, seconds

, formattedDateTime

;

year = now.getFullYear();

month = now.getMonth().toString().length === 1 ? '0' + (now.getMonth() + 1).toString() : now.getMonth() + 1;

date = now.getDate().toString().length === 1 ? '0' + (now.getDate()).toString() : now.getDate();

hours = now.getHours().toString().length === 1 ? '0' + now.getHours().toString() : now.getHours();

minutes = now.getMinutes().toString().length === 1 ? '0' + now.getMinutes().toString() : now.getMinutes();

seconds = now.getSeconds().toString().length === 1 ? '0' + now.getSeconds().toString() : now.getSeconds();

formattedDateTime = year + '-' + month + '-' + date + 'T' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;

if ( onlyBlank === true && $(this).val() ) {

return this;

}

$(this).val(formattedDateTime);

return this;

}

$(function () {

// Handler for .ready() called.

$('input[type="datetime"]').setNow();

});
