Specifically, can I use the mm/dd/yy hh:mm format? (e.g. 04/04/04 09:15
04/04/04 09:15

You should take a look at the -egenmore- functions. First:
ssc install egenmore
Here is an example using hms(), dhms(), and tod():
clear
set obs 1
generate x = mdy(5,6,1999)
generate date = x
format date %d
egen secs = hms(11 27 15)
egen datetime = dhms(date 11 27 15)
generate str sdate = string(date, "%d")
egen stime = tod(secs)
generate str sdatetime=sdate+" "+stime
list , clean
x date secs datetime sdate stime sdatetime

Hope this helps
