I haven't actually used this since I figured it out. The following is in VB.NET. All it does is put the current date into the necessary format as a string. The important bit is the format of the final date string which will be the same whatever language you use: 4 digit year space 2 digit month space 2 digit day

Dim adate, theYear, theDay, theMonth As String
Dim theTime As DateTime

'get current date from system clock
theTime = DateTime.Now

'parse date into yyyy-MM-dd
theyear = theTime.ToString("yyyy")
theMonth = theTime.ToString("MM")
theDay = theTime.ToString("dd")

'make date string
adate = theYear & " " & theMonth & " " & theDay
docRef.Info.CreationDate = adate
