(defun xxx ()
  (interactive)
  (org-insert-item)
  (org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) 'with-hm 'inactive))

This assumes that you are in a plain list already.  Funnily
enough, there is no command to insert an item at any location, except  
pressing

  - SPC

of course :-)

So you could do


(defun xxx ()
  (interactive)
  (if (not (org-in-item-p))
      (insert "- ")
    (org-insert-item))
  (org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) 'with-hm 'inactive))
