The datetime is included in the default payload under the attribute time, however if you enter a custom payload it is not included because it only sends the data you enter.

It is possible to include the scheduled time in your custom payload using context attributes https://docs.aws.amazon.com/scheduler/latest/UserGuide/managing-schedule-context-attributes.html

{
    "foo": "bar",
    "time": "<aws.scheduler.scheduled-time>"
}

To quote from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-events.html:

The following fields appear in an event: ...

time

The event timestamp, which can be specified by the service originating the event. If the event spans a time interval, the service can report the start time, so this value might be before the time the event is received.

If you leave the value as the default instead of setting it to constant you'll receive a JSON event which includes the date and time. You can see an example of the format in the Lambda developer guide.
