For it to insert the time you need a prefix argument (C-u) to org-time-stamp, so it should be "C-u C-c ." to add an active time-stamp and "C-u C-c !" for an inactive one.

That is a bit strange - my Emacs doesn't seem to have `bind-key'. Also, I would just add f9 to `org-mode-map', e.g. using `define-key' - there's no need then to check for `major-mode'.
