but did you try a simple keyboard macro in the end as suggested by the
first response?  this requires no elisp programming.  if your actions
consist of selecting region and then applying org-time-stamp on it, the
following keystrokes should record the steps necessary to do what you
want *after* you have selected the desired region:

C-x ( C-w C-c . C-y RET C-x )

(untested sequence of keystrokes)

Your macro is now recorded and can be executed by "C-x e" once you have
selected a region.  You can even save that macro (check the info pages
for emacs) and bind it to a key.

HTH,
eric
