I don't understand why this is difficult.

I've created the stamp I need. I just want it to add the date each time I use it

I added javascript but that just adds the date the stamp was originally created, not the time it was used.

Even the ability to type it in manually and hen have it save/printable would be helpful.

This is using Adobe DC. I don't seem to have a document processing option, so I can't get to the Page Template.

In the "calculate" > "custom calculation script box" I have :-

var myfield=getField("datebox");

var date=new Date();

date=util.printd("mmm dd yyyy", date);

That should work. What is your stamps name? You can find this by opening the stamp file, and then going to the "Page Templates" functionality. You will see something like this:

aaaa=bbbb

The first part of this string is the internal stamp name, the second part after the equal sign is the name that gets presented to the user.

To force the stamp script to be executed every time you place stamp, this string has to start with a '#':

#aaaa=bbbb

If that '#' is not part of the internal stamp name, then the script will only be executed once.

What is the script you are using in your stamp?
