Is there a way to get the current time down to the second to be included in

I would like to add the current time to a file name and I am unclear on what
the best solution would be.
For example: "Filename10:23:34:02:12:02"
old code from the archive of snippets. watch the line breaks. This
uses "." delimiters for time and date and a colon between, just so
you actually can see what's what. But you can do what you want with
it. Just stick the thing on the end of your desired filename.

set todaysDate to (current date)
set {d, m, y} to {day, month, year} of todaysDate
set monthList to {January, February, March, April, May, June, July,
August, September, October, November, December}
set tTime to time of (current date)
set hrs to tTime div 3600 as text
set mins to (tTime mod 3600) div 60 as text
set secs to (tTime mod 3600) mod 60 as text
--{hrs, mins, secs}
repeat with i from 1 to 12
if m = (item i of monthList) then
set monthString to text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & i)
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set dayString to text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & d)
set todaysDate to hrs & "." & mins & "." & secs & ":" & dayString &
"." & monthString & "." & y
