1) When doing something involving date/time it is best practice to assign
date/time *once* to a variable then work off of that variable. This ensures
that your date/time is consistent withing that block of code.

2) If there is no particular reason why you are storing the date and the time
separately why not just use a DATETIME field? Then you can just use the
builtin db function NOW(). Or, if that datetime never changes once assigned,
you could even use a TIMESTAMP field.
