Question : DOS Bat File Copy a File with Date Timestamp

I have a bat file below

copy S:\Apps\EAM\PDCApptLtr\Prod\Appointment_Combined.csv S:\Apps\EAM\PDCApptLtr\Prod\Appointment_Combined_%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~12,2%%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%.csv

Should copy the file in the same directory so that it looks like this
Appointment_Combined_072210153051.csv
It now copies nothing.  Any ideas on syntax?  Thanks
