This is a waste of time, because it will be quicker and easier to insert
the numeric date and time from a standard keyboard into a single text
field. If you are explicitly rigorous about the field order, you can be
liberal about the separators, allowing spaces to separate fields.  If
your users may not have keyboards, code one with a dozen or so buttons.

Validate the pattern with a RegExp match, and validate the values by
read-back from a Date Object.

If validation fails, allow the input line to be edited; do not force
full re-entry.
