How to add current Time(HH:MM:SS) to NSDate?

Question

I am using https://github.com/ruslanskorb/RSDayFlow to add calendar to my application.

I override the method as

// Prints out the selected date.
- (void)datePickerView:(RSDFDatePickerView *)view didSelectDate:(NSDate *)date {

    self.transactionDate = date;
    self.inputDateField.text =  [[Helper getDateFormatterForClient] stringFromDate:self.transactionDate];
    NSLog(@"transactionDate=%@", self.transactionDate);
    [self.inputDateField resignFirstResponder];

}

All I want to add is current time HH:MM:SS to the date user selects.

I have no idea how to do this, any help is greatly appreciated

UPDATE

Currently, when the date is selected, I get

2015-01-15 10:34:35.210 myapp-ios[21476:60b] transactionDate=2015-01-15 08:00:00 +0000

If by "current time HH:MM:SS to the date" you mean that you want to replace the selected date's HH:MM:SS with the current HH:MM:SS, you can extract the relevant date components from the selected date, get the current datetime, extract the relevant time components, then add those components back into self.transactionDate, ex:

// Prints out the selected date.
- (void)datePickerView:(RSDFDatePickerView *)view didSelectDate:(NSDate *)date {

    self.transactionDate = date;
    self.inputDateField.text =  [[Helper getDateFormatterForClient] stringFromDate:self.transactionDate];
    NSLog(@"transactionDate=%@", self.transactionDate);
    [self.inputDateField resignFirstResponder];

    // Create an instance of the current calendar
    NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

    // Break self.transactionDate into day, month, and year components
    NSDateComponents* dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSCalendarUnitYear|
        NSCalendarUnitMonth|NSCalendarUnitDay fromDate:self.transactionDate];

    // Save transaction date with just the day, month, and year
    self.transactionDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:dateComponents];

    // Get the current datetime
    NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];

    // Extract the hour, minute, and second components
    NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitHour|
        NSCalendarUnitMinute|NSCalendarUnitSecond) fromDate:currentDate];

    // Add those hour, minute, and second components to
    // self.transactionDate
    self.transactionDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components 
        toDate:self.transactionDate options:0];

}
