Here is a start. You will need to target the text frame somehow. I like labels, so I called a text frame "map date". You'd have to release the master frame first. [Applescript]:

tell application "System Events"
	set theCurrentDate to (get (current date) as string)
end tell

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
	tell document 1
		tell page 1
			--tell text frame 1
			tell text frame "map date"
				set contents to theCurrentDate
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
