Don't use Timestamp from firestore-types. The one you can use is available in firestore.

Use import { Timestamp } from "@firebase/firestore";

instead of import { Timestamp } from "@firebase/firestore-types";

Then you can use: Timestamp.fromDate(new Date());

Using serverTimestamp() method to update the Timestamp object

import {serverTimestamp } from 'firebase/firestore';

ref.update({ updatedAt: serverTimestamp() })
// results in timestamp in Firestore

JS Date objects do get saved as timestamps in Firestore/firebase:

ref.update({ updatedAt: new Date() })
// results in timestamp in Firestore

import { Timestamp } from '@firebase/firestore-types';

Here Timestamp is just a type, if you want to get the current time just use 

var now = new Date(;
