I think its not possible, from org.el:

#v+
  (defconst org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M>")
    "Formats for `format-time-string' which are used for time stamps.
It is not recommended to change this constant.")
#v-


One solution is to customize `org-time-stamp-custom-formats'.

Use `#+STARTUP: customtime' in your file or/and set
`org-display-custom-times' to `t'. Hm, and you should read this
<http://orgmode.org/manual/Custom-time-format.html>.
