A Java one liner

public String getCurrentTimeStamp() {    return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").format(new Date());}

in JDK8 style

public String getCurrentLocalDateTimeStamp() {    return LocalDateTime.now()       .format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"));}

You only have to add the millisecond field in your date format string:

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");

The API doc of SimpleDateFormat describes the format string in detail.
