If you want to create a new heading with the timestamp, you can use
file+function as your target in the template (see org-capture-templates
docstring).

If you want to change the existing heading, you can use file+regexp as
target and add a function modifying your heading to
org-capture-before-finalize-hook

You may also try https://github.com/progfolio/doct to make the above a
little simpler.

Hope it helps.
