Try echoing a "continuation" character (\c) after the first echo, ie:

echo "This is a line of text at \c" >>file
date +%H:%M >>file

should give you :

This is a line of text at Sunday, 12th october

Alternatively, try embedding the actual time into the line itself, eg:

echo "This is a line of text at `date +%H:%M`" >>file

HTH!!
