if you just want to string-together the input value strings into one
output string (i.e. no conversion to a unix time stamp), you could
try in the form:

(:input text publish_date:)
(:input text publish_hours:)
(:input text publish_minutes:)
(:input hidden publish_long_date "{$$publish_date} {$$publish_hours}:{$$publish_minutes}":)

and use {$$publish_long_date} in your template.

Or use the three components separately in your template, like I've
done in the hidden input field.
