Value of variable not being displayed

Can someone tell me what's the problem with the below batch script? I don't get MYTIME in the final output.

@ECHO ON


SET CURRENTTIME=%TIME%
IF "%CURRENTTIME:~0,1%"==" " (SET CURRENTTIME=0%CURRENTTIME:~1%)
FOR /F "tokens=1-2 delims=/." %%a in ("%CURRENTTIME%") do (set MYTIME = %%a)

FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET TIMESTAMP=%%C-%%A-%%B)

ECHO %TIMESTAMP%-%MYTIME%

PAUSE

Let us say the Date is 21 July 2015 and time is 04h:05m:06s.5ms.

The output I expect is 2015-07-21-04:05:06
But the output is 2015-07-21-

                         set MYTIME = %%a
space included in variable name....^ ^.. Space included in value

So you end with %MYTYME % variable. Better use

set "MYTIME=%%a"
