(defun xxx ()
   (interactive)
   (org-insert-item)
   (org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) 'with-hm 'inactive))

This assumes that you are in a plain list already.  Funnily
enough, there is no command to insert an item at any location, except  
pressing

   - SPC

of course :-)

So you could do

(defun xxx ()
   (interactive)
   (if (not (org-in-item-p))
       (insert "- ")
     (org-insert-item))
   (org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) 'with-hm 'inactive))
