Those who know programming simply call this as DateTime. For example, "2015-12-22 03:11:25".
Instead of referring it to simply DateTime, is there any other suitable name?

You may like to have a look at the discussion under english.stackexchange.com/q/164227/48571 - I won't call it a duplicate, just relevant (potentially).– Chris HApr 21, 2015 at 16:19

Though perhaps awkward in some contexts, timestamp does fit your desired meaning.
The date and time at which an event occurs or occurred, usually indicated in human-readable form, especially when used in a log to track events.

1Timestamp can sometimes have a slightly different meaning, especially in databases: Datetime Vs Timestamp. But, for a non-programming context, it can be used interchangeably with datetime.– VampDucApr 21, 2015 at 16:38
I use "time" as it may include both date and time, but if you use just "date", the time is not necessarily included.

Well, never have I heard in my whole life someone comes up and say, the time now is 20th March 2015 3.45pm ... Apr 21, 2015 at 16:11

1Welcome to ELU, Chris. Time and date are no normally conflated in this manner. Could you point to others who follow your pattern?– ScotMApr 21, 2015 at 16:40
