I thing you to get current date you have to create shortcode...

put this function in functions.php 

function displaydate(){
return date('F jS, Y');
}
add_shortcode('date', 'displaydate');

you can change date format as you wanted...

put this date shortcode without bracket in dynamic value field in dynamichidden input field..

check this image http://dev.savivatech.com/sa/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/current-date.png

[dynamichidden dynamichidden-693 "date"]

this dynamichidden-693 is dynamic name...

Hopes this will help you

You can create a shortcode which will return current date and add that shortcode in contact form as follows -

Create shortcode in functions.php file 

function custom_post_date_callback(){
    return current_time('mysql');
}

add_shortcode('custom_post_date', 'custom_post_date_callback');

In post or page you will need to add shortcode as follows -

[dynamichidden post_date "custom_post_date"]
