None of the commands you used belong to the Finder. Why do you feel the
need to put this into a Finder tell block and activate the Finder? Not to
mention if the Finder happens to be busy or something, this could cause your
script to pause while it waits on the Finder to respond. Not good.
All you need is this:
set the clipboard to the time string of (current date)
