this may sound odd but is it possible to assign a date tag to each point in a specific point cloud file such as a PTX or PTS .

What we would like to do is import a point cloud file then asign a date to the pixels / nodes captured within the scan and then export this information as a PTX or RCS to packages such as navisworks

I don't think PTX files support additional fields.

In a PTS file it would just be an additional column. But I would be very surprised that other software tools handle it though!

The only format I know that officially handles such an information per point is LAS (with the 'GPS Time' field). And the E57 format has a per-scan GPS time field.
