Use similar commands with the %time% variable.

-%time:0,2%%time:3,2%

Did you try parsing %time% already? After try parsing %time% you will notice
there is a space before hours less than 10. To assure hours less than 10 are
formatted with a leading zero, store %time% in a variable then replace space
with zero.

set dt=%date:~12,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%-%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%
set dt=%dt: =0%
copy %1 %1.%dt%
