The best documentation for things like the format string to date is
the man page. Just type "man date" in a Terminal window. The full
list of format controls is there.
For those interested in gory details, there's also a bunch of stuff
in "man strftime".
Note that the official ISO time format uses colons instead of hyphens,
and can be obtained with the simple %T. The full ISO date/time stamp
is "date + '%FT%T'".
I've come across a number of attempts to use such formatting when
adding a date/time stamp to file names. Might just be worth
mentioning in passing that, since the Mac OS uses colons as path
separators, this isn't really recommended.

Thanks, Yvan. (Had a sneaking feeling that the subject of locali(s/z)
ation might elicit a comment or two from your corner. ;-))
