Verify it is correct in what way?

If you want to record the time the data was entered, it would make more 
sense to use the system time, and not collect the data in the form at all.

If you want the user to specify the time that an event happened in the 
past, or is to happen in the future, give them a select list with options 
of 1-31 for day, Jan-Dec for month, <whatever range suits> for year, 
00-23 for hours, 00-59 for mins, 00-59 for seconds. Convert the form data 
to an actual timestamp and do whatever validation and verification you 
want.
