In that case, the ${EPOCH} channel variable is your friend... it should
always contain the current system time, in Unix epoch format.  (In
essence, it contains the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.) 

You can also use the STAT() dialplan function to read the file creation
(or modification) date and time.

The SayUnixTime() application will read back the time to the caller, and
allow you to choose which format the time is read back in.
