Here are two links

The last one with some interesting explanations.

I use ISO 8601
format$(now(), "yyyy-mm-dd")
format$(now(), "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss")

Note - the only place this should be relevant, is when building
dynamic sql strings (to open recordsets, execute queries,
wherecondition of openform/openreport or usage of the domain aggregate
functions)
 
See:
International Date Formats in Access

Since you want the time as well as the date, use:

Function SQLDateTime(varDate As Variant) As String
If IsDate(varDate) Then
SQLDateTime = "#" & Format$(varDate, "mm\/dd\/yyyy hh\:nn\:ss")
& "#"
End If
End Function
