PS1="$LOGNAME:"`uname -n`:'$PWD

try this

export DATE=`date`
PS1="$LOGNAME:"`uname -n`:'$PWD
${DATE}
>>'

Hi

You can add something like that:
$(date +%d/%m-%H:%M)
where you need the date. but take into account that you have to take care of date output renew after each enter/CR.
The best way to do this is to create an alias for the command cd.
