I don't believe there really is one, but I've had to do it a couple of
times myself. This is my solution (I'm not a lisp expert either, but it
did the job):

(defun bc/org-new-datetree-at-point
       (interactive)
       (org-up-heading-safe)
       (org-datetree-find-date-create
         (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (org-today))
         'subtree-at-point))

This will make the datetree as a subheading of the current heading (or
find it if it already exists). Getting rid of 'subtree-at-point will
make the year a level 1 heading at the end of the file, like with
org-capture.
