You can do:

string filePath = @"C:\TEMP\test.zip";
string finalPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath),
                            Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath) 
                                  + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") 
                                  + Path.GetExtension(filePath));

• First Get File name without extension and add your Time Stamp, Then concatenate file extension,
• Then get Current directory for the file path
• Use Path.Combine to combine directory and new file name
