Make sure to import in your proto file:

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";

And use the type for you variable like:

google.protobuf.Timestamp time_name = 1;

In your proto file:

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto"

Based on the documentation, that should be all that's necessary.

You can import timestamp from the ptypes package: in the standard Go Protobuf repo.

import (
    "github.com/golang/protobuf/ptypes/timestamp"
)

Grpc does not have a timestamp AFAIK.
I usually use the Unix Epoch - the go function 

 Unix(sec int64, nsec int64)

and

func (t Time) Unix() int64

is your fried
