This (and many other questions) is answered in the manual: for this one,
see section 8.2, "Creating timestamps". The manual is available online
e.g.

        http://orgmode.org/org.html#Dates-and-Times

but I generally prefer to look up things locally, using emacs's info
system. For example, evaluate the following in emacs:

    (info "(org) Creating timestamps")
