You can use the Shortcuts app to create a time stamp that will be copied to your clipboard. You will need to manually paste into the document. You can record a phrase so Siri can run the shortcut in the shortcut settings. You can change the date and time formats to meet your needs. As written below, this shortcut will display the date format as Jan 15, 2019 at 9:11pm when run.


Below is the shortcut I made:



I hope this can you what you were asking. PS. I was having a lot of trouble getting this to post, so if the images do not show up I will try to type the directions out.
