python selenium set default downloads directory with timestamp for windows

As captioned, anybody can help me to solve the problem? Many thanks!

from selenium import webdriver
from datetime import datetime
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

today = datetime.now()

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
  "download.default_directory": r"C:\Users\XXX\Downloads\ + today.strftime("%Y%m%d")",
  "download.prompt_for_download": False,
  "download.directory_upgrade": True,
  "safebrowsing.enabled": True
})

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

I would like to show the result like this:

"C:\Users\XXX\Downloads\20210301"

  "download.default_directory": r"C:/Users/XXX/Downloads/" + today.strftime("%Y%m%d")

you had an issue in double quote here. Also you should change the lashes
